The INSIDER Summary:

  • Lucasfilm and fundraising site Omaze announced a huge contest for "Star Wars" fans.
  • Fans have the chance to win a trip to Skywalker Ranch, attend the premiere of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi," and be in the upcoming "Han Solo" movie.
  • You can donate anywhere from $10 for a chance to win one individual trip or a shot at all three.
  • Proceeds will help support Starlight Children's Foundation and UNICEF.
  • The campaign runs through early May.


If you want to head to the premiere of the next "Star Wars" movie or be in the "Han Solo" spinoff movie, here's your chance.

Disney and Lucasfilm have partnered again with fundraising site Omaze to launch a contest with three incredible opportunities for fans to celebrate the past, present, and future of the franchise on its 40th anniversary. 

Fans will have the chance to win a trip to Skywalker Ranch, attend the premiere of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi" with the cast, and visit the set of the upcoming Han Solo movie as well as have a chance to appear in the movie.

"The Last Jedi" stars Mark Hamill and Daisy Ridley announced the campaign Tuesday on "Good Morning America." 

Check out the video below:

Here's a full breakdown of each experience fans have the chance to win:

A night at Skywalker Ranch: One winner and a guest will get a VIP tour of the California ranch where the Lucasfilm campus is located. They'll get to see the Star Wars Archives, original props, and costumes. They'll also get to spend the night at the Skywalker Inn that has a vineyard and will get a private screening of "Star Wars: A New Hope." 

Attend the premiere of "Star Wars: The Last Jedi": A fan and a guest will get to walk the red carpet for "The Last Jedi" premiere, see the new film, and go to an exclusive after-party. 

Visit the set of the Han Solo spinoff movie: A winner and guest will get a VIP tour of the film's sets, costumes, props, and meet directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller. They'll also have a chance to appear in the new movie. 

Three winners will be selected to head to one of the events while one grand prize winner will be selected to attend all three experiences. 

For a chance to head to one of these events — or even all three of them — fans are asked to donate as little as $10 through Omaze to support Starlight Children's Foundation and UNICEF.

Starting Wednesday, April 11, each of the three experiences will roll out over the next few weeks on Omaze's site for fans to donate for a chance to win. April 11-17 fans can donate for a chance to attend Skywalker Ranch. April 18-24 fans can donate for a chance to head to "The Last Jedi" premiere. Afterwards from April 25-May 1 fans will have the opportunity to donate for the Han Solo spinoff experience. 

Omaze cofounder Ryan Cummins tells INSIDER that when you donate, you'll be entered for the grand prize to win every experience. 

"Donors know right from the beginning that when they donate at any point and time they're being entered for the chance to win all three," Cummins told INSIDER. "It's really just more of a bonus on any given week that they're essentially given a second chance to win whatever's being highlighted that week."

In the past, the fundraising site has rolled out these experiences one at a time, but Cummins said they didn't want fans to potentially hear about one of the subsequent contests later only to realize they missed out on possibly winning one of the others.  

"Originally we were going to stack [the experiences] one after the other after the other and realized ... that someone might have really missed the one that they wanted most and we didn't want that to happen for anybody," Cummins said. "All credit to Lucasfilm and Disney for being willing to go along with that. That's a really big ask to have one winner win all three of those things. They all saw that when you're designing something and you want it to celebrate the fans and to really celebrate the franchise, that you have to take that plunge. So they were willing to do it."

The amount you donate corresponds to how many entries you will have in the contest. 

Various donation levels come with a "Star Wars" treat for fans, ranging from a set of four postcards to newly-designed "Star Wars" T-shirts.

Donating $10,000 will give fans an exclusive autographed Giclee "Rogue One" print signed by select cast and crew members. If you fill one of the few opportunities to donate $50,000 you'll get to host a special screening of "The Last Jedi" for you and 20 friends in your hometown.

This is the third campaign Omaze has launched with Lucasfilm and "Star Wars: Force for Change."

Omaze's first "Star Wars" campaign, which offered a fan the chance to be an extra in "The Force Awakens," raised over $4.2 million for United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund's (UNICEF) Innovation Labs. The most recent campaign with Disney and Lucasfilm, which sent fans to the premiere of "The Force Awakens," helped support 15 different causes selected by the cast and crew

The Skywalker Ranch experience runs through April 17. The full contest runs through May 11. Enter for a chance to win HERE.
