I'm afraid it's, probaly a bit too late. From what I've seen on the
subject, a good portion of the major shooting has either already been
done or is close to finishing at Pinewood Studios. This is, of course,
providing they haven't hit any setbacks. Lucasfilm LTD. got into big
trouble, in the UK, due to the verbage of some casting exec yutz.
Describing, what is SPECULATED to be, young Luke & Lea he was looking
for a boy of 9-11 (?) yrs. young, but, masculine. And a girl, 8-10 (?)
yrs. innocent, but, SEDUCTIVE!!! Only an upper eschelon exec could use
this kind of wording and not feel odd. Needless to say variouse small
town UK papers were appaplectic, as that's where the casting search went
on. Some twit actually quoted the exec, printed it, and distributed it
as audition flyers around the isles. Word is that Lucas, himself, had to
step forward (they were using a studio pseudoname to throw off media
dogs) and explain the situation.
As I remember, the sci-fi mag I read this in said it occured this past
Novaember or thereabouts.
Making this relavent to the list, your 70s disco cheese friend and
mine, Meco wants to do medleys for each of the new chapters. Humorously,
I actually have his Empire Strikes Back 10" EP-single-whatever thingy. I
personally feel that as far as the Meco medley covers go, this was the
better one.
