Two mega nerds from Essex, Matt Kingsnorth and Phil St Pier, are trying their luck with sending an actual X-Wing toy to space to get JJ Abrams' attention. Regardless of whether or not they get tickets, seeing an X-Wing's real life space flight is worth a watch. See more of its flight (and its crash landing), in the video below.
If you want to help them get to the premiere, don't forget to tweet!
