#RogueOneWish is a Twitter hashtag that’s gaining steam, designed to help terminal cancer patient Neil Hanvey see the upcoming Lucasfilm movie before his time runs out.
A “Star Wars” superfan and illustrator, 36-year-old Hanvey was told in April that he had eight months to live, roughly the same amount of time until “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” is set for its worldwide release in mid-December.
Now fans — and also “Star Wars” veteran Mark Hamill — are helping Hanvey’s cause to see the movie before it’s too late.
It started when Hanvey’s wife, Andrea, and hospice worker Amy Duncan asked for support on Facebookย to help him see the movie from his hospital bed before it hit theaters at year’s end.
