In a special video message from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII, director J.J. Abrams (and a mystery friend) today announced the creation of Star Wars: Force for Change from the set of the new film in Abu Dhabi. Star Wars: 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.
The first Star Wars: Force for Change campaign will raise funds and awareness for the United Nations Children’s Fund’s (UNICEF) Innovation Labs and its innovative programs that are benefitting the world’s most vulnerable children.
Fans can now contribute directly at Omaze.com/StarWars for a chance to appear in Star Wars: Episode VII. For each $10 contribution made through the Omaze fundraising platform, eligible participants will be automatically entered for a chance to win this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
That’s right, YOU could be the next Hayden Christensen. No, wait. That doesn’t sound right…
The Star Wars: Force for Change Grand Prize includes:
· 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
Sweet Lord in Heaven above, what a prize. But why let JOE blabber on about this brilliant opportunity when you can hear J.J. Abrams explain it all himself. Don’t worry though, there’s no lense flare in sight and, as a bonus, there’s even an awesome alien who pops up to say hello.
May the Force be with you…
