Fans Have a Chance to be in Star Wars Episode VII
Attention all Star Wars fans! I just got a pretty awesome email from Disney and if you love Star Wars, you really need to hear this news!
Today in a special video message from the set of Star Wars: Episode VII, director J.J. Abrams announced the creation of Star Wars: Force for Change, 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.
Disney has committed US $1 million to support the launch of Star Wars: Force for Change. 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. The campaign runs from 12:01am PST on May 21stth until 11:59pm PST July 18th.
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
I think that is an awesome way to raise money for UNICEF and for a lucky winner to win the prize of a lifetime!

How cool would it be to win a spot on a Star Wars movie. I wish it was for a family of four (the giveaway). 2 would cause big arguments here (as to who got to go). 😉
wow this is awesome I’m a huge Star wars fan or at least the original Star Wars back when Harrison For was Han Solo but this is way cool. i’d give it try for fun.
