Star Wars Charity Auction Aids Bushfire Victims

Like many Australians, Star Wars tie-in novelist Karen Miller was stunned by the recent bushfires in Victoria that was labeled the worst natural disaster in the history of the country; 2,000 homes destroyed, 7,000 left homeless, at least 200 dead. Now it’s recovery time and that means money — money enough so that entire towns can be rebuilt. That’s where you come in.

We all know the power of fandom – this time we’re going to use it, not to save a TV show but to save lives.

Karen and dozens of other Star Wars fans have gathered together for a charity auction that’s sure to delight any fan of the films. Autographed photos, manuscripts, art prints and rare novels are all up for grabs. But my favorite item is the one Karen donated — a character named after you in her next Star Wars novel. How cool is that?  Get the details here or check out all of the items up for auction here.

Do something great for the less fortunate and bid, bid, bid. Let’s show them what fans can do when they put their mind to it.
