The Luke Skywalker Lead an army of drones to war.

It might sound like a movie script from being star WarsBut it is the shortest way to describe today’s reality. the actor Mark Hamillwho first embodied the Jedi in 1977 in the first trilogy of Star Wars films, took on the role of ambassador to create the “Drone Army” by UkraineAt the special request of the Prime Minister of the country Volodymyr Zelensky.

“Quite simply: Ukraine needs drones. They determine the outcome on the battlefield, they protect the territory, they protect the people, they control the borders, and they are our eyes in the sky,” Hummel said in an interview with Bloomberg. Detailed about the situation two or three times a week, Ukraine has already received 500 drones since this initiative began.”

After a Zoom call with Zelensky, Hummel began working with United24, the official funding arm of the Ukrainian government, to supply the military with drones. Celebrities like Barbra Streisand have already partnered with the same organization in the past to raise money for medical equipment.

Earlier in October, Hummel posted a photo on Twitter showing the same model of fighter plane he used in the movies, painted in the colors of the Ukrainian flag, flying toward a fleet of Imperial ships with the message “Resist. Support Ukraine.”
