The Walt Disney Co. has built a media empire identity out of the idea of making wishes come true. That’s why people are urging the company to use its stock-in-trade to fulfill a dying Texas man’s dream.

Daniel Fleetwood, a 32-year-old Star Wars fan, suffers from terminal cancer and isn’t expected to live long enough to see the premiere of the newest film in the series, The Force Awakens, which premieres Dec. 18. That’s why he’s asked Disney, the franchise’s parent company, for a special screening of the movie before he dies. His request has picked up steam across Twitter and Facebook thanks to the #ForceForDaniel hashtag.

Fleetwood, who says he’s been Star Wars fan since he was about 8 years old, has attracted some powerful friends along the way, according to an article posted by Reddit user lesi20 in the Star Wars community.

Mark Hamill, the actor who portrays Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy as well as the upcoming sequels, and Peter Mayhew, the man underneath Chewbacca’s Wookiee fur, both retweeted their support for Fleetwood, CNN reported. Even John Boyega, a newcomer to the franchise who plays Finn in The Force Awakens, got behind the cause on Twitter.

Special advance film screenings for sick fans have precedents in fiction and real life. It’s the subject of 2009’s Fanboys, a movie starring Kristen Bell that has a group of friends trying to break into Skywalker Ranch to let their dying buddy see The Phantom Menace before it debuts.

In 2013, J.J. Abrams, the director of The Force Awakens, helped a dying Star Trek fan with his final request by organizing a special early showing of that franchise’s latest installment, which Abrams also helmed.

Fleetwood’s wife is also seeking help with their medical bills: Currently, her GoFundMe page has reached around $25,ooo of its $100,000 goal.
