Help For PJ

[chixter]

Hi all. My G~d it is such a long time since I've started a new topic here. I'm sending warm wishes for the new year to all of you, old and new who visit this board. I remember such support and a Member coming through with Tom Petty tickets for my Katie. There exists a similar situation here with one of our own, PJ who also signs in as Peejay. He has been fighting long and hard, has been doing podcasts, and trying just about anything the medical community can throw at him and he has been through a lot. He always was a Sci-Fi buff as well as a movie fan. When he was diagnosed a year or so ago one of his concerns was would he live long enough to see the new Star Wars in 2015. His loved ones got him a ticket for the opening night, but as my Katie was, PJ was not well enough to go. According to his FB and fundraising page he has not much more time with us here. His brother and friends are desperately seeking a screener copy of the new Star Wars movie, so PJ will be able to watch it from his Hospice bed. I know nothing about movies, I've never even seen a Star Wars, but I'd figure I'd use this venue as well as others I can think of, to try to obtain this for him. So if any of you know someone who knows someone etc....lets try to get a copy of Star Wars out to PJ in Oregon.


Namaste,

Greg

We just gotta do this!

I remember reading about a similar problem. The patient's friends posted a plea on Reddit, and the message was picked up by social media until it eventually found its way to the director, J.J. Abrams. Abrams sent a DVD to his house with a rough cut of Star Trek Into Darkness - it was 5 months before the release date!!!

In another case, friends contacted the movie studio (Pixar), and they sent a DVD copy of the movie to the patient's house.

So... the studio for Star Wars: The Force Awakens is Lucasfilm. Bloomberg Business lists their phone number as 415-623-1000. That's probably the executive office's generic phone number, but they might be able to point you in the right direction.

Lucasfilm is also a subsidiary of Disney. The main switchboard number at Disney is (818) 560-1000. Again, they should be able to point you in the right direction.

There's also their publicity email: Publicity@Lucasfilm.com

There is also social media:
https://twitter.com/starwars
https://twitter.com/georgelucasilm
https://twitter.com/bad_robot (JJ Abrams, director of Star Wars: The Force Awakens)

Abrams is known for supporting many charities and foundations, so I know he would gladly do this if we could just get a message to him.

I am not certain he ever saw it :/. I chatted much via FB with PJ as I'm from Oregon, too, and loved to help give him Hope, which he had. PJ said when he was near his fb would be deleted because the thought it was creepy that people goto a dead man's page. His FB is gone. He did leave his chat up, last night that was also down...not sure, but he may have earned his Blue Wings. So freaking sad. Love ya man!
