Back in May when Star Wars: The Force Awakens started filming, director J.J. Abrams announced the "Force for Change" campaign, which invited fans to donate to support UNICEF in exchange for prizes and even a chance to have a cameo in the movie. The winner of the cameo was announced in August, but even if you didn't win, you still helped raised over $5 million dollars to support UNICEF programs. And for that, Abrams, producer Kathleen Kennedy, crew members, R2-D2, and Chewbacca say "Thank you." I suppose C-3P0 was off somewhere being an ungrateful jerk, whining about something or other. Fucking Threepio.
