An American actor helps Ukraine
The actor playing the role of Luke Skywalker also recorded messages canceling the alarm. The actor decided to add famous quotes from “Star Wars” to them. Users of the application who receive push notifications can also listen to a message in which the actor calls for support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. “All donations made through the »Air Alert« application will be transferred by United24 to purchase drones for the Ukrainian military,” emphasizes the United24 organization, which was founded on the initiative of President Volodymyr Zelensky.
The initiative is grateful to Mark Hamill for his support and to Ajax Systems for their cooperation. Mark Hamill has been involved in helping United24 since September, when he spoke to President Volodymyr Zelensky via the Zoom platform. “He is the first ambassador to help raise funds for the “Army of Drones” that will support our defenders,” the Ukrainian president then said on Telegram.
Mark Hamill thinks the war in Ukraine reminds him of ‘Star Wars’
The 71-year-old actor confessed in an interview with the AP agency that the war struggle of Ukrainians with Russia brings to mind “Star Wars”, which is largely about the rebels’ fight against the evil empire:
The fairy tale about the fight between good and evil resonates with what is happening now in Ukraine
The American actor also said that the heroism of the Ukrainians is extremely inspiring to him. “I’m sitting comfortably in my home now, while there in Ukraine, people suffer from power outages and food shortages. This motivates me to do as much as I can” – sums up Hamill, who became an ambassador last year “Army of Drones” project. Hamill then put up for auction signed posters of the films of the cult saga. The money obtained in this way will be used to purchase new drones, which, in his opinion, play a huge role in Ukraine’s defense.
