As reported earlier, quite a bit of money was raised for UNICEF via the Star Wars: Force For Change initiative.

Star Wars Episode VII director J.J. Abrams has sent his thanks to fans for their generosity via a handwritten note posted on the Bad Robot Twitter feed.

What's interesting is that the note is being held by a robotic hand. We've heard rumors previously that Luke Skywalker's severed hand would play a role in Star Wars: Episode VII. Could part of Abrams' "thank you" be a tease of things to come?

It's hard to know for sure, or do a visual comparison, since Luke's arm had a flesh covering in the original trilogy.

Star Wars Episode VII opens December 18, 2015.
