Rumor: We have live-action sign!

MTV is reporting that the Star Wars live-action show is now casting. Weirdly enough the source is… Attack of the Clones bit player Rose Byrne?

During the junket for the Nicolas Cage thriller “Knowing,” star Rose Byrne let slip that Team Lucas is casting a wide net for actors to join the show. “A lot of my friends have been auditioning for it,” she said.

Well okay then. Our live-action news roundup does need a bit of updating, but there’s been so little news on this lately that it still hits most of the major points. But if casting really is underway, that’s about to change. (via)

UPDATE: Entertainment Weekly got hold of a Lucasfilm rep:

But EW has confirmed with a Lucasfilm rep that a casting agent in Australia is “doing some preliminary ground work, but official casting will not start until the scripts are complete.” At the earliest, the series would go into production in 2010, the rep added.

  1. I have heard that the series will not feature the main characters in the two trilogies. I don’t understand why they would do this. The movies have great reviews for a reason. Why bridge the gap between the two trilogies and NOT feature the main characters?
