Filmed in February, Bowie is seen 'using the force' as characters such as Darth Vader, Kylo Ren and Chewbacca all greet the young padawan.
Moe Hicks, Bowie's mother and filmer, told Newsflare: "Bowie is four years old and fun fact, her birthday is May the 4th! She is the biggest Star Wars fan! We have raised her on the entire series since birth and watch at least two of the movies every week at her request.
"Jesse and I are just as big Star Wars nerds as Bowie, we are who she gets it from, so we were over the moon when she got to live out a little kids dream!"
Moe's video has gone viral on social media with Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker in the films, posting the video to his Instagram account.
"I actually cried when I saw Mark Hamill posted Bowie’s video, he’s such an icon to our family and we adore him so much," Moe added.

Those poor villain actors, they had to stay in character and not hug her. One of the best parts about being a hero, you can hug
-
You know those guys dressed as the villains were like... “Stay in character, stay in character, don’t wave back.”
-
The Rey on Rey on Wookie hug killed my heart. I think I died a little! Thanks actors for making this little one's life. Well done people.
-
I’m so touched by all of this I’m actually in tears. I’m a 62 year old man. When Star Wars was out I was 16 so I’ve basically grew up with the whole thing. This has moved me to tears.
-
She didn’t run away because she knew The Force Was With Her
-
You can tell even the villains wanted a hug. Had to stay in character.
-
Sweetest thing on the internet. The fact that they all played along is awesome. Great job Disney
-
That young girl dressed up as Rey, she has the spirit of a true Jedi. The Force will be with her. Always.
-
She is brave..... at that age I would have ran away as soon as they had stood over me like that.
-
Imagine she was asking for a high five and not using her force.
-
That is so cute, using the force. Nothing warms your heart then a hug from Chewbacca.
-
0:03 LOL! That little nod of confidence she gives like "Oh yeah. I got this."
-
I just love how she stood her ground to all the villains, then hugs Rey and Chewie 🥲
-
Poor villains. They had to stay in character and resist hugging her
-
She used the Jedi mind trick to make all those villains change course, thereby preventing them from unleashing the power of the dark side on the crowd behind her. I'm sure everyone was very grateful she was there. 😉👍
-
I suffer from bad depression,so when I’m feeling down I watch this and it makes me smile for the whole day 🥰
-
The most powerful siths in front of her and she didn’t even flinch!
-
Thank you to ALL of those actors that gave that baby a day she will NEVER forget.
-
So precious! Absolutely wonderful for the characters to engage her like that. She will remember it for life
-
"The Sith think inwards, only about themselves." The Jedi are selfless, caring only about others." So sweet. I do love how the actors try to make little ones feel special. Even if they can't break character. I bet this sweet little girl will treasure this memory. Especially her hug from Rey, even I shed a tear.
