Last week actor Harrison Ford surprised donors from around the world with the announcement of a new Omaze fundraising campaign in support of Star Wars: Force for Change’s mission to empower people to make an impact on the world around them. This once-in-a-lifetime experience will see two winners presented with tickets for them and three guests each to attend the premiere of Star Wars: The Force Awakens in either Los Angeles or London, walk the red carpet and meet the cast.
Fifteen global causes were individually chosen by J.J. Abrams, Kathleen Kennedy and the cast, which will benefit equally from the funds raised. Among the charities are Unicef, Feeding America and Malala Fund.

Building a movie set for a blockbuster is really, really expensive. It.s not the sort of thing that you can mash together with paper mache and paint. Well, you can, but audiences are bound to notice. But even though the set for Star Trek Beyond probably cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to make, the crew couldn.t resist the opportunity to blow up a part of it just for a joke. Which they each deserve massive kudos for. Watch, laugh, and enjoy, below: Whoever co-ordinated and led that delicious prank needs to be given a strong, celebratory pat on the back, because the world needs to see more of these kind of childish, stupid, and quite dangerous jokes. Especially since they provoked such diametrically opposed reactions from director Justin Lin and host Ryan Cummins. Meanwhile, my reaction to the clip can be summed up by this gorgeous Gif...

This story first appeared in the Nov. 7 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. When Omaze founders Matt Pohlson and Ryan Cummins began looking for new office space in the spring for their fast-growing online charity fundraising platform, they were determined to stay in Venice. But an eight-month search turned up few viable options, and the company had reached near-critical mass with 30 employees packed into an 1,100-square-foot live/work loft, part of a Frank Gehry/Brian Murphy-designed compound formerly owned by Dennis Hopper. Now they are nearing a deal to move Omaze five miles

As the Star Wars franchise’s Force for Change campaign continues, Star Wars: Episode VII director J.J. Abrams has seen fit to release a video promoting the campaign and offering new opportunities to supporters – while hanging out by one of the X-Wing fighters we’re sure to see in the 2015 blockbuster. It’s a fun and exciting tease for the heavily guarded sequel, which may or may not have had plot details leaked out recently.
The official Twitter account for the Star Wars franchise did confirm that the rather dirty and beaten-up fighter in the video is an X-Wing, not a Z-95 as some assumed:
@CDCanimation It is in fact an Episode VII X-wing, not a Z-95.

It’s exciting to see Abrams break away from his typical vow of secrecy just a little bit for such a great cause. The Force for Change campaign has...
