Star Wars: Force for Change Winner Nearly Falls off His Chair, Millions Raised for UNICEF

Star Wars: Force for Change’s contest to let one lucky UNICEF donor travel to the Episode VII set and appear in the upcoming movie has its winner, and he’s… a little excited. Probably because he was part of a charity effort that raised $5.26 million, right? Watch him very nearly fall off his chair in surprise as you think, “Yeah, that reaction’s about right.”

For some excitement of your own, check out some reportedly leaked set pics from inside the Millenium Falcon.

J.J. Abrams’ production company Bad Robot also tweeted out this image with details on Force for Change’s outcome and its winner with a mysterious robotic hand:

So what does it mean? Probably nothing. Star Wars movies have taught me that Jedi are constantly losing hands and getting robotic replacements. If you’ve made it out of Padawan lightsaber training with two functioning, biological hands, you just plain weren’t pushing yourself hard enough.
