Seven-year-old brain tumour victim Ben Webber had always wanted a Star Wars arcade game -- but he got an intergalactic shock when the delivery men turned up.

Ben with his unusual visitors Ben's special wish was granted by the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

But before he could get to the game he and his brothers, Tom, five, and Philip, nine, had to fight off Storm Troopers from a galaxy far, far away.

The Make-a-Wish Foundation whisked Ben and his family off on Saturday morning for a fun packed day at the Ozone Leisure Centre.

The family from Didcot enjoyed 10-pin bowling before heading off for a slap-up lunch at Frankie and Benny's. All the time Ben had no idea what was going on at home.

When he returned his special wish has been granted and the house had been invaded.

"He was really excited when they opened up the garage and he saw the game," said dad Colin.

"He was absolutely made up and he has been stuck on it ever since."

The game has proved a real hit and all three brothers are now queuing up to be Luke Skywalker.

Colin said Ben had fallen in love with the Star Wars arcade game while on a family holiday, but tracking one down had proved difficult.

That was when the Make-a-Wish charity stepped in to track one down.

The charity's regional manager, Blair Humphreys-Ross, said with the imminent release of the next Star Wars film, Revenge of the Sith, they decided to make the day extra special with some real life Storm Troopers.

He said the family had a wonderful day and the look on Ben's face had made it all worthwhile.

The Make-a-Wish Foundation was established in 1980 and has now granted more than 120,000 wishes worldwide.
