The Phantom Voice
By Aidan Somers
This December the next sequel in the newest Star Wars trilogy will premiere. Titled The Last Jedi it will feature the return of one of the most influential characters in cinema, Luke Skywalker. Star Wars first took on the scene in 1977 and forty years later the impact is still monumental. Whether people are debating their hate of the prequels or the new movies, or discussing their general love for the films it’s impact is indisputable. With a predicted $215 million for opening weekend at the box office there will be floods of people entering theatres. One student by the name of Kevin Dean at BBP had this to say about the upcoming movie, “Gonna be phat.” Another kid dubbed Christopher Bacalla stated, “I want it to live up to my Star Wars Expectations, yet shock me.” My personal expectations are relatively high and expect a great movie to come. A key aspect of the Star Wars impact is the Force for Change initiative. The program was started in 2014 by Lucasfilm and Disney. The program works with UNICEF to promote kid power and benefit children around the world. Donations can be made at any time. Currently the charity has raised $2,237,712. By working with UNICEF the focus is placed on malnutrition across the globe and the prevalent issues with undeveloped countries. https://forceforchange.starwars.com/
