Lucasfilm producers are seeking two actors for lead roles in the forthcoming Star Wars: Episode VII.

The two roles are for a "street smart" girl in her late teens and a "smart capable" man in his late teens or early 20s, according to the casting call.

CEOAFRICA gathered that following the announcement, hundreds of people are already queuing at a Bristol arts centre for the first in a series of open auditions for the two lead roles in the next Star Wars film.

 Those at the auditions, who must be over the age of 16 for the female role, and over 18 for the male role, will briefly meet members of the casting team of the film.

According to report, many of those queuing had expressed great hope, describing the roles as a “massive deal’’.

Source revealed that casting sessions will take place across the UK and Ireland. 

Glasgow, Manchester, Dublin and London will also host open auditions throughout November.
