AceShowbiz - Lucasfilm has announced a new campaign for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens". In a video shared on YouTube for "Star Wars: Force for Change" campaign, Mark Hamill and Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy offer "Star Wars" fans a trip to "The Force Awakens" filming location at Skellig Michael.
Mark acts just like what he did in "The Force Awakens" when he finally appeared on-screen and laid eyes on his father's long-lost lightsaber. "Oh, I'm sorry... I have dialogue?" he tells Kathleen. "I'm used to just staring intensely."
From April 5 to May 4, "Force for Change" campaign will run four weekly challenges benefiting the U.S. Fund for UNICEF in support of UNICEF Kid Power, American Red Cross, Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the Make-a-Wish Foundation, with Lucasfilm matching all funds raised up to $1,000,000.
Fans who donate can win an all-expenses-paid trip to Skellig Michael in Ireland, the location of the final scene of "The Force Awakens". The first 20 fundraisers to contribute $500 will receive Blu-ray copies of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" signed by the cast members.
On Monday, April 4, a new set photo from "Star Wars Episode VIII" teased the return of Lupita Nyong'o's character Maz Kanata. Apparently taken on the motion capture set, the photo showed someone who's presumably Lupita standing in the middle of a stage wearing a motion capture suit. Maz Kanata's face was seen in two screens set up around her.
"Star Wars Episode VIII" is set to hit U.S. theaters on December 15, 2017. This year, fans will see the release of "Star Wars" spin-off "Rogue One" from director Gareth Edwards on December 14.
