A dying man's wish was granted by a Hollywood director. Joe Leiker was told last January that cancer in his brain had returned and there wasn't much doctors could do. 

Leiker has always been a self proclaimed Star Wars fanatic and his last wish was to see the new film that debuted in December. 

The movie's director, J.J. Abrams, found this out and called Leiker up.

Abrams sent him a copy of the movie for him to watch at home before it was released in theaters.
