The Make-a-Wish Foundation granted this 9-year-old's request to have a Star Wars–themed fort in his backyard complete with a kick-ass construct of the fastest spaceship in the galaxy. It was delivered to Christian on Monday and serves as the topper to his illustrious fantasy fort.
"[The Falcon] even has solar-powered LED interior and exterior lighting," said Brandon of Little Mountain Productions.
Star Wars has not only been a source of entertainment for Christian, but it's also helping him battle through leukemia. "When he was first diagnosed, he carried his Xbox back and forth from the hospital," said his grandmother Tracy Clark.
The Millennium Falcon is so big that it took 14 people, including a bunch of well-built firefighters, to lift it onto the playhouse. The fort will hopefully serve as another escape for Christian who awoke Monday to stormtroopers and Imperial Guards standing next to his playhouse.

How AWESOME is that!!! The Make A Wish Foundation is just one of those out of this world (no pun intended) institutions that really MAKE A DIFFERENCE in a kid's life. I know that people all over the world need money. Who doesn't need money? But if my wish ever came true, it would be that our money here in the US would be donated here in the US to help all these wonderful kids. We would end hunger here in the US, were would find the cure for cancer here in the US (of couse it would then benefit the whole world, but if the answer is never found, who does it benefit???), etc... I think we give too much away that we cannot afford when there are so many here in dire straights... What about them? Nobody in another country is going to help them. Neither, it looks like, are we. Shame on us. Hooray for Make A Wish!!! Keep up the good, I mean GREAT work............

well Suzette they are sticking to the subject. The subject is Christain and not the people. You are pathetic along with the fool who commented about the the ship wasnt an authentic Falcon. How sad and heartless you both are and materialistic, you make me sick. Why are you bothering to be here anyway.
Anyway God Bless you Christain with strength and health in the days to come. And May God Bless All the people who find it in their hearts to help all those less fortunate then we are. Have a Great Day Everyone

Way to go Make-a-Wish, that's one of the happiest kids I've ever seen.
Folks complaining about the world cup post - that's a bot, an automated message. It posts to most every comments section in AOL pages daily. It uses whatever daily subject is fed into it (today it's world cup), always followed by "My boyfriend thinks the same as me!" and is an advert for a shady dating site. We need AOL to filter that stuff but they don't seem to care. Email them and complain, because the computer program that posted that can't hear you.

Actually, on AOL news articles, you can't comment on anything because (about a year later) they are still working out a way to prevent these commentors from commenting, but allow everyone to comtinue to comment. That is why AOL links to other articles. This article is on Asylum. You must complain to Asylum to filter these comments. Meanwhile clike the ! next to the article and - to vote it down. Eventually it will be removed. Back to the article, I smiled so much seeing this kid smile. Man this is every kids dream, to have this huge plaything to imagine and create stories in. He is so happy. Thank you, Make a Wish. Your work is much appreciated, thank you.
