In a new video filmed on the set of Star Wars: Episode VII, director J.J. Abrams announced a great new charity program that Disney and Lucasfilm have set up around the sci-fi franchise. Star Wars: Force for Change is a new charity that you can get involved in, with the possibility of even landing a role in the upcoming movie!

Set up through Omaze's great donation website, fans of the series can offer money for a chance to win trip out to London to be a character in the movie. All proceeds will go to UNICEF.

Watch Abrams' video here:

"The support from Star Wars: Force for Change will help to bind these innovators together on a mission to solve the world's most pressing problems, and create a better future," Christopher Fabian of UNICEF proclaimed.

Here is a bit more information on this charitable opportunity:

Everyone who pledges $10 becomes a "founder member" of the Force for Change campaign. All of these members are to be entered into a pool, from which the grand prize winner will be selected, but fans with deeper pockets can earn a higher chance of selection by buying more entries. As with platforms such as Kickstarter, the campaign's structure means higher-spending contributors will receive more valuable rewards for their generosity - give up $50,000, and not only will you vastly increase your chances of selection from the digital hat, but you'll get to see the movie before anyone else as Lucasfilm organizes a private screening for you the day before its release in December 2015. More reasonably priced rewards include T-shirts, Millennium Falcon posters, and lightsaber hilts.
