It's one thing to be able to dress up and go to a convention, pretending that you're Han Solo or Princess Leia for a day, but as filming for the new Star Wars Episode VII is underway, director J.J. Abrams is reaching out to fans with a message that's music to their ears: "We want to put you in the movie." Star Wars: Force for Change is a new initiative that supports [UNICEF's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-world-cup) Innovation Labs and resolving world issues through creative problem solving. With a $10 donation to Force for Change through Omaze, Star Wars fans will be entered into a draw, where one lucky individual will win a chance to be a part of the newest Star Wars film. Entries will be accepted until July 18th. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.5/10 - Popularity: 11% | Activity: 56% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Marketing](https://www.trendhunter.com/marketing) > [Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/interactive) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Film Fan Engagement:** Opportunity to engage fans by offering them a chance to be part of a beloved film franchise. - **Crowdfunding for Creative Initiatives:** Using crowdfunding platforms to support and generate awareness for creative projects. - **Collaborative Problem Solving:** Supporting initiatives that encourage collaboration to solve real-world issues. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Film and Entertainment:** Utilizing fan engagement strategies to enhance movie promotions and build a dedicated fan base. - **Crowdfunding Platforms:** Providing a platform for creative projects and initiatives to raise funds and engage with their audience. - **Non-profit Organizatiosn:** Leveraging creative problem solving and collaborative efforts to address social and global challenges. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sci-Fi Film-Inspired Custom Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucasfilm.md) - [Limited-Edition Sci-Fi Soda Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocacola-x-star-wars.md) - [Sci-Fi Franchise-Inspired Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-collection-2.md) - [Spacefaring VR Adventure Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/star-wars-beyond-victory.md) - [Sci-Fi-Themed Cars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/volkswagen-2.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Lenses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ray-ban-star-wars.md) - [Whimsical Miniature Toy Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grogu.md) - [Sci-Fi Gaming Chair Covers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secretlab-star-wars.md) - [Sci-Fi-Inspired Classical Posters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sen-donnan.md)
