   J.J. Abrams wants you to donate $10 for the chance to appear   
   in Star Wars: Episode VII. Abrams, who is directing the   
   upcoming sci-fi sequel, appeared in a video recorded at the   
   movie's Abu Dhabi set today to help announce a new charity   
   campaign run by Disney, Lucasfilm, and his own production   
   company, Bad Robot. The initiative, called Star Wars: Force   
   for Change, will begin its charitable venture by asking   
   people to donate $10 or more to UNICEF for the opportunity   
   to play a role in the galaxy far far away.   
      
   Abrams explains the charity campaign in the midst of a   
   ramshackle market, as crew members, performers in costume,   
   and a new ostrich-like alien carrying a box of space-turkeys   
   saunter past. The randomly chosen winner of the grand prize   
   and one partner will be flown to Episode VII's Pinewood   
   Studios set as guests of J.J. Abrams. There, they'll be   
   "transformed" by costume and makeup teams, before being   
   given roles in the next Star Wars movie. It's unclear what   
   those roles will entail -- Episode VII's story is so   
   well-protected Bothan spies are yet to reach it -- but the   
   opportunity to put on a furry mask, hang around in the back   
   of a shot, inspire the invention of an alien race of   
   wolf-people or bobble-headed oddballs, and eventually have   
   books written about you is enticing. Abrams' early support   
   for the campaign also suggests the scenes featuring the   
   winners are unlikely to be left on the cutting-room floor in   
   the movie's final edit.
