“Who’s your favorite character?”
Way to hurt Harrison Ford’s feelings by choosing Padme, Star Wars superfan.
In a new Force For Change video offering tickets for four to the upcoming premiere of Star War: The Force Awakens, past donors to the movie’s charity initiative got a Skype call from a couple of reps from Omaze, the organization that oversees the donations.
Only they had a special guest waiting to surprise the viewer: Harrison Ford, who seemed to be having a lot of fun tormenting them. “Is that your boyfriend?” he says, pointing to a photo of Chewbacca in one woman’s home.
Anyone who donates $10 more more to the campaign will be entered into a raffle that will select two winners to receive four tickets each to the premiere, along with Ford’s promise to introduce them to “the hairy guy” at the after party. (Are we talking about Chewie or Mark Hamill’s beard?)
The Force For Change program raised $4.26 million for UNICEF Innovation Labs and programs during the movie’s production, awarding a number of prizes to donors, including a walk-on role in the film. This time, the money raised will be split among many charities selected by the stars and filmmakers.
