A “Star Wars” superfan who saw the latest, yet-to-be-released flick just before dying will get to spend eternity on the dark side — just as he would have wanted.

Daniel Fleetwood’s ashes will rest in an urn shaped like Darth Vader’s lightsaber, loved ones told TMZ.

The urn was designed by Fleetwood’s engineer brother-in-law and Lord Vader was the fan’s favorite character, according to his widow, Ashley.

She called the lightsaber urn “a great idea.”

The 32-year-old Fleetwood, who had been battling cancer for two years, knew his time was short, so loved ones launched a social media campaign to let him see “The Force Awakens” before it hits screens on Dec. 18.
