Star Wars: Episode VII Casting Call Goes Out in New York

A casting call has gone out in New York for three principal actors for "Untitled Studio Feature” from Disney and J.J. Abrams: you do the math.

As reported by Showbiz411.com, the casting sheet lists the following roles:

[YOUNG MAN] Early 20s. Handsome, but not necessarily heroic. He is witty and smart. Physically fit. [MAN] Late 20s. Physically fit, handsome and confident. [YOUNG WOMAN] Late teens. Physically fit, raw energy, independent and with a great sense of humor.

The list of characters has been significantly whittled down from a similar casting sheet leaked in June:

Late-teen female, independent, good sense of humour, fit.

Young twenty-something male, witty and smart, fit but not traditionally good looking.

A late twentysomething male, fit, handsome and confident.

Seventy-something male, with strong opinions and tough demeanour. Also doesn’t need to be particularly fit.

A second young female, also late teens, tough, smart and fit.

Forty something male, fit, military type.

Thirtysomething male, intellectual. Apparently doesn’t need to be fit.

The internet has been abuzz with Star Wars: Episode VII casting rumours since the movie was announced way back in October of last year, with actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Rachel Hurd-Wood and Alex Pettyfer most recently linked to the production.

Whatever the case, the casting sheet guarantees one thing: the crushed dreams of all the unfit and socially awkward amongst us who hoped to wield a lightsaber in Abrams' upcoming movie.
