‘Star Wars VII’ Cast And Crew Thank Fans For Fundraising Efforts
Star Wars fans got an early holiday gift Friday afternoon, with the release of a new video from J.J. Abrams thanking those who donated to the Star Wars: Force for Change fundraising campaign.
Following a montage of cast and crew from next year’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens saying “thank you” to the viewer — including cameos from both R2-D2 and Chewbacca, who hasn’t aged a day, impressively — Abrams appears to reveal why everyone is so grateful: Between donations to the campaign from fans and Lucasfilm parent company Disney, the Force for Change campaign raised $4.26 million.
