"In a year that we celebrate 40 years of the Star Wars saga, I continue to be inspired by the incredible generosity and charitable efforts of our fans," Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy said in a statement. "We are so proud of their tireless dedication to positively impact the lives of children and others around the world, and hope this year's Force For Change campaign will offer a few of those wonderful fans an experience they will never forget."
