This is the moment a young boy's dream came true when he met his hero R2D2 at a Star Wars convention and the pair danced along the corridor together. The child's infectious giggles can be heard after R2D2 followed him around Star Wars Celebration convention in Anaheim, California and the pair began spinning around each other in circles. Clearly a fan, the boy was dressed in a Star Wars t-shirt and had merchandise fixed to his wheelchair to promote the new film, the Force Awakens. A young Star Wars fan giggled in delight when he was approached by his favourite character R2D2 . The robot began turning in time with the boy and he can be heard on video giggling loudly and uncontrollably . In the video, which shows the boy  giggling with delight, the blue and white robot dances approaches him and copies the child as he begins to turn on his wheels. As the youngster makes his way down the corridor the robot follows him and pauses, mirroring the child's every move. He is then heard giggling loudly and uncontrollably as other children watch the pair. Chris Lee, who claimed he was in charge of the robot, wrote on YouTube: 'This was the second interaction that we had with this awesome kid. R2D2 approaches the boy at the convention and begins to copy his actions as he turns in his wheelchair . The robot spins around in time with the young fan, much to his delight when he realises what is happening . As the child speeds off down a corridor R2D2 follows him, beeping loudly and flashing his lights . 'He was having so much fun and laughing continuously. Even his parents and some people in the crowd (me included) started giggling uncontrollably.' He said the child's reaction was one of the highlights of the convention for him. The trailer for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens, which debuted at the event on Thursday, was viewed 88 million times worldwide in the first 24 hours. Directed by JJ Abrams, the movie opens in the US on December 18.
