Star Wars: Episode VII

When news broke out that another movie from the Star Wars franchise was imminent, fans all over the world were thrilled, but in this newest video from director J.J. Abrams, they are given a whole new reason to be excited and to look forward to the next episode.

Abrams announced that fans of the trilogies may have a chance to be in the movie and win a bunch of rewards if they participate in a fundraiser for UNICEF, but viewers may find it hard to focus because the director is totally standing in front of a famous aircraft from the galaxy far, far, away. Yup, the video was filmed in front of an X-wing!

The official Star Wars Twitter account even confirmed the aircraft's model soon after!

The timely reveal is all part of Star Wars: Force for Change, a fundraiser to support UNICEF Innovation Labs and Programs, which benefit children in need. Fans who donate at least $10 will have a shot at winning a visit to the Episode VII set and even cameo in the film! Now that the fundraiser is on its final week, Abrams is also offering fans a chance to see the movie before everyone else-those who will donate will be entered to win an advance screening for the lucky winner and 20 friends!

Other rewards for contributors will be limited-edition tees, posters and Episode VII Concept art and film stills.

Star Wars: Episode VII premieres next year, Dec. 18, 2015.
