Do you want to be in Star Wars Episode VII? Well, here's your chance.

Disney and Lucasfilm have posted an open casting notice for anyone with a video camera.

Here are the official casting descriptions:

“Seeking: Young woman to play 17-18 Years old. Must be beautiful, smart and athletic. Open to all ethnicities (including bi- and multi-racial). RACHEL — Was quite young when she lost her parents. With no other family, she was forced to maker her way alone in a tough, dangerous town. Now 17 she has become street smart and strong. She is able to take care of herself using humor and guts to get by. Always a survivor, never a victim, she remains hopeful that she can move away from this harsh existence to a better life. She is always thinking of what she can do to move ahead.“

“Seeking: Young man to play 19-23 years old. Must be handsome, smart and athletic. Must be over 18.
THOMAS — Has grown up without a father’s influence. Without the model of being a man, he doesn’t have the strongest sense of himself. Despite this, he is smart, capable and shows courage when it is needed. He can appreciate the absurdities in life and understands you can’t take life too seriously.”

It's highly unlikely that the characters are actually named "Rachel" and "Thomas," as the Star Wars franchise has used codenames in the past. Plot details remain tightly under wraps, at the moment, and it's equally unlikely that prospective auditioners will be given much in the way of actual plot details from which to work.

As for the auditions themselves, in addition to uploading a video to an audition website, Disney is holding in-person open casting calls for these same roles in multiple cities to be announced throughout the U.S. over the next several weeks.
