Oscar Isaac and BB-8 Want You to Help Out Some Rad Charities

As part of Lucasfilm’s “Force for Change” charity campaign, your favorite pals Oscar Isaac and BB-8 recorded a video announcing that there are some rad new prizes up for grabs for folks who donate to the Force for Change charity. This is kind of like those school fundraisers you’d do as a kid where you’d sell pizza bread or cookies or popsicles or something, and the top seller would win a bike. Except, you know, you don’t win a bike here. You could win your own signed Sphero BB-8 or a trip to San Francisco to visit Lucasfilm where you’ll screen your favorite movie.

Yeah. This is way better than those school fundraisers. Anyway, the video’s definitely worth checking out, simply because it features two of our faves. The way Isaac talks to BB-8 is just so perfectly nonchalant, you’d swear that they’ve been friends forever. That’s some serious chemistry, isn’t it? Also, big BB-8 doing a double take while checking out mini BB-8 has to be the cutest thing I’ve seen in a long while. You know you’d do the same exact thing if you were BB-8, right?

You can donate and be in the running for prizes by heading over to the Star Wars: Force for Change CrowdRise campaign site.
