Mark Hamill, who plays Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars film franchise, has helped send at least 500 drones to Ukraine to help the country in its fight against Russia, the actor revealed in a radio interview with Bloomberg. The actor is one of the celebrity fundraising ambassadors to the Ukrainian United24 “Army of Drones” initiative, along with Barbra Streisand, Liev Schreiber, Imagine Dragons and Balenciaga creative director Demna, as per a report by Deadline.
“Very simply: Ukraine needs drones. They define war outcomes, they protect their land, their people, they monitor the border, they’re eyes in the sky,” Hamill told host Joe Mathieu in the interview.
“I was really shocked because they give me these updates at least two or three times a week about what’s going on and they said they’ve received over 500 drones since I started this,” Hamill told Mathieu.
Whether or not Hamill has donated some of his personal wealth for the “Army of Drones” initiative is not known yet.
“I know for certain that Ukrainians need drones to protect their land, their freedom, and the values of the entire democratic world. Right now is the best time for everyone to come together and help Ukraine stand up in this war with the evil empire”, Hamill said in a statement last month, as per a report by Deadline.
The Star Wars actor has been vocal about his support for Ukraine and has shared Star Wars-themed memes and spoken at interviews about the Ukraine crisis.
