A quick update on last week’s news about Star Wars Episode VII auditions: Disney is now accepting audition tapes online. The role descriptions are the exact same as the ones noted in the previous post (the information is re-shared below for your convenience). This should help out aspiring actors, Jedi, and Sith that may not live near one of the major cities where in-person auditions are being held. Interested parties should submit their videos to the Open Casting Call website Disney has set up. Good luck, all!

Thomas:
Has grown up without a father’s influence. Without the model of being a man, he doesn’t have the strongest sense of himself. Despite this, he is smart, capable and shows courage when it is needed. He can appreciate the absurdities in life and understands you can’t take life too seriously.
