Mark Hamill will sell signed “Star Wars” posters in an effort to raise money for Ukraine's drone supply. The actor says he hasn't sold autographed 'Star Wars' merchandise in nearly six years: “It’s just not something I do.”
“We decided to sign ‘Star Wars’ posters, a limited amount,” Hamill told Politico. “For real hardcore collectors — especially those that have disposable income — you can get way more money … than you would imagine.”
For Hamill, leveraging his “Star Wars” fame to raise funds for Ukraine speaks to the larger themes of the space franchise and its message of doing the “right thing for the good of everyone, rather than being all about self-interest.” But Hamill stressed that bringing “Star Wars” into the conversation surrounding the war should not mask “the true horrors of what Ukrainians face.”
Hamill added, “Anything I can do [for Ukraine], however small it is, is something I feel obligated to do…Drones are so vital in this conflict. They are the eyes in the sky. They protect the border, they monitor.” “Mark, you have become the first ambassador to help Ukraine raise funds to support its defenders,” Zelenskyy said. “For Ukrainians, this means a lot. As in ‘Star Wars,’ good will triumph over evil and light will overcome darkness. With you in the team, there’s no other way around it.”
