If you need something to warm your heart, look no further.
That's because Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens actor John Boyega (who plays Finn) stopped by the Demelza Hospice Care for Children in the UK, and proceeded to hang out with the children, staff workers, and families who were all decked out in Star Wars gear.
Demelza posted a video of his time there, where Boyega can be seen talking to tiny Stormtroopers, young Darth Vaders, and even a few Jedi's, all equipped with their very own lightsabers. He even helped a Stormtrooper with an impromptu bowling lesson.
Specifically, he visited the Eltham Hospice, which is home to kids up to the age of 19. The compassion on display is wonderful to see, and this world could use more of it. Demelza Hospice Care offers help with medical needs and support for babies, children, and young people.

As for Boyega, this isn't the first time he's made this kind of visit. Back in March, the actor visited the kids at the Royal London Hospital while in character as Finn, including a young boy named Daniel, who is battling brain cancer. Daniel wanted the other children at the hospital to meet Finn, just like he did when he saw the movie. Boyega happily obliged, and said: "Really thankful for the opportunity this child granted me and I'm just humbled! I hope I played a little part in making you smile young stormtrooper."
