Star Wars Fans Make-A-Wish Come True

Fangirl , , ,

When a fellow fangirl shared that her cosplaying group Rogue Base had made the local news, I had to check it out. Alpine Garrison and Rogue Base joined forces with Make-A-Wish Foundation to grant Mitchell Harline’s wish: to become an honorary Jedi Knight. Mitchell has the degenerative disease, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which will become worse as he ages. Check out Mitchell’s knighting ceremony. Star Wars fans are awesome.
