With The Force Awakens launching a charity movement of Force for Change, Solo: A Star Wars Story is doing the same thing with Roar for Change in partnership with UNICEF. Besides the announcement, we get some cool BTS clips of Joonas Suotamo's Chewbacca.
Here are the official guidelines of the contest:
Star Wars' Chewbacca challenges you to #RoarForChange. Show us your best Wookiee roar! For each public post, like, or share on Facebook, Instagram or Twitter that includes #RoarForChange between May 3 - 25, 2018, Star Wars: Force for Change U.S. will donate $1 to UNICEF USA, up to $1 million. Funds will be used to support UNICEF's lifesaving work for children around the world. Learn more at ForceForChange.com.
Besides the announcement of the contest, it's really fun to watch Chewie fool around on set. Though he may not be played by original trilogy actor Peter Mayhew anymore, Suotamo proves to be just as friendly and loveable as everyone's favorite Wookiee.
Suotamo has been playing the double of Mayhew since The Force Awakens, and has gone to fully playing the character with Star Wars: The Last Jedi and Solo. Seeing that Mayhew is already at an age where he can't jump around as much as he would want, it would make sense that Lucasfilm would hire someone more young and agile for ‘The Mighty Chewbacca.'
Solo: A Star Wars Story comes out May 25.
