It’s kind of amazing to see what celebrities do for their favorite charity. In the case of Downton Abbey‘s Rob James-Collier (the ambitious Thomas Barrow) it was almost child’s play.

Originally the actor set out to raise £10,000 to help the Chilterns MS Centre. In order to do that, he released a Star Wars parody video entitled Downton Wars: Episode 1 – The Phantom Valet in which his James-Collier’s Evil Butler faces off with the “Phantom Valet” John Bates (Brendan Coyle).
