Star Wars fans might want to check out the Episode VII X-Wing that was recently unveiled by none other than J.J. Abrams. It looks pretty cool, in fairness…

Not only does Abrams give us a look at a battered looking X-Wing that is set to feature in the next edition of the Star Wars franchise, he also reminds us that this is the last week in which we can take part in the Star Wars: Force for Change initiative.

Basically, Force for Change is a brand new Star Wars initiative from Disney and Lucasfilm, in collaboration with Bad Robot, dedicated to finding creative solutions to some of the world’s biggest problems.

By donating at least $10 to the Star Wars: Force for Change initiative you and a friend could be in with a chance of winning the prize of a (Star Wars fan-boy) lifetime.

The lucky winner will receive:

• Airfare and accommodations to London for one winner and a guest
• Behind-the-scenes access on the closed set of Star Wars: Episode VII as VIP guests of J.J. Abrams
• Winner will have the opportunity to meet members of the cast
• Winner and their guest will then be transformed by makeup and costume teams into a Star Wars character and filmed for a scene in Star Wars: Episode VII

Sounds pretty epic. Best of all, the prize is open to Irish residents so if you want to find out more then head over here.

Oh, and before you say, “that’s not an X-Wing in the video above, it’s a Z-95”, make sure to check out the official Star Wars tweet below…
