    Just wondered if anyone had any updates on whether or not Lucas will have open auditions for roles on the show...

    I'm guessing he will since GL usually casts unknowns.

    It may depend on what characters are in the show. Unknown characters or characters not seen in one of the movies will likely result in auditions for someone to play the part. If any character(s) from the prequel movies are involved, they may try to sign up the actor or actress that played whichever character in the movies.

    Matthew Newton, he's Bert Newton's sone and he's Australian. He played John Barton in Looking for Allabrandi and Armand in Queen of the Damned

    And his dad is doing a cameo as the Death Star :p

    Yes I'm guessing if Bail Organa is in the upcoming Star Wars Live Action TV Series Jimmy Smitts will probably play him.

    maybe GL will allow the casting of SW fans to play background characters or jedi? That would be cool. How can we find out about casting calls?

    Maybe fans could be extras but I don't think a surviving Jedi.

    Well that could be possible, but they did say at the end of Episode 3 that the remaining Jedi will be hunted down and defeated!(?) It could be possible that the show will concentrate on a couple of jedi that were instructed to hide.

    Yes I do think there will be surviving Jedi in the upcoming Star Wars Live Action TV Series but I think that fans will not be playing them.

    Lets hope George goes for some coffee, and returns to Skywalker Ranch when I arrive for my trip. Hopefully I'll get answers to it, more than a picture of me getting 'Antille'd' by the Security Gaurd.

    A guy named Peter Wingfield would be excellent on Star Wars TV!!

    He was great as the 5000 year old Methos in the Highlander series. He added a lot to that series and would help to give this Star Wars TV project a huge boost as well!

    Attention, George Lucas.

    Contact Peter Wingfield!

    Yeah Methos was awesome. Well no that I care but that kid who played Boone on LOST is now avalable if they must put the hertthrob kinda guy in it. I hate that type of charcter but he showed me depth in his flashback episode.

    There is another possibility on castings for the show. Even if a character, especially a Jedi has been killed off, or said to have been killed off, perhaps Lucas and whoever else is involved might offer some of the actors or actresses spots in the show as different characters. Having one actor play more than one character isn't unheard of. The guy that played Ki Adi Mundi played Nute Gunray too, and the guys that played 3PO and Jar Jar played background characters in AOTC during the bar scene.

    That could happen or they could just cast an unknown as a completely new Jedi we've never seen before.

    Not necessarily a Jedi. Any character. Some guy standing at a bar, thats the guy that played Kit Fisto in AOTC. Some random female, or twi'lek, thats Amy Allen, whom I'm guessing you all know which character she played. Some pilot or random bounty hunter, thats the guy that played Agen Kolar.

    Not necessarily give someone a major part, but perhaps give some of the extras a guest role as another character or something in an episode, or use some as other random extras. Take away the makeup or costume from someone, or put makeup and/or costume on, and you would have no idea that someone played a different character in one or more of the movies. Besides, with some of these people, you already have an idea of who and what you'd be working with, and having a few familiar names and faces, even in different roles, might make the show more appealing and enjoyable.
