Episode II Casting

As Episode II enters its pre-production phase, fans are getting more and more excited about this new chapter of the Star Wars saga. As a result, Lucasfilm is being inundated by calls and mailings regarding casting for Episode II, both from people who want to know what actors have been considered for roles, and from people who want a role themselves in the new movie. So we would like to correct any wrong impressions.

The casting director, Robin Gurland, will not start interviewing actors for Episode II until the end of January 2000 at the earliest. Also, Robin cannot accept unsolicited head shots, resumes, tapes or phone inquiries. The submissions must come through an accredited agent or agency. All the actors who worked on Episode I, even the ones sometimes referred to by the public as "unknown", are professionals in the field, and all work with an agent. In addition, please note that since George Lucas is not involved in the first stages of the casting process, no submissions should be sent to him.

We appreciate the thousands of inquiries we are receiving from people wanting to be in the next Star Wars film, but unfortunately, due to the volume of inquiries, we cannot review unsolicited submissions.
