If Disney was hoping it would remain a secret that an open casting call they’ve issued is actually to find two new lead character for Star Wars: Episode VII, they’re gonna be disappointed. Rumours began to circulate almost as soon as the call went out and it’s now been confirmed that it is indeed for Star Wars.
Open auditions will be held to find to find someone to play a 17-18 year old female character and a 19-23 year old, who will apparently play central roles in the film. While many had assumed the movie would centre of Han Solo and Leia’s kids of Luke’s offspring, although it would appear these aren’t related to main characters in the earlier movies (although it is just about possible they are).
You can take a look at the casting call below, which includes more info on the characters as well as where the auditions are being held.
