REY : (5’6”-5’8”) Seeking a dynamic and athletic actor with an athletic, slender build and strong improvisational abilities to portray Rey. Rey is a survivor, toughened by her life as a scavenger on the harsh desert planet of Jakku. Despite dismissing herself as a “no one”, she learns that her life is being shaped by the mysterious power of the force. Actors with prior experience or knowledge in stage combat, Wushu, martial arts or hand-to-hand are encouraged to attend.
KYLO REN: (6’0”-6’2”) Seeking a dynamic and athletic actor with improvisational abilities to portray Kylo Ren. A menacing Force-sensitive warrior, Kylo is driven by his connection to the dark side to achieve his ultimate goal of galactic domination. Actors with prior experience or knowledge in stage combat, Wushu, martial arts or hand-to-hand are encouraged to attend.
Obviously Kylo and Ren have to be male and female respectively.
I imagine despite the character descriptions that they might cast any genders for the other roles, depending on the audition “tapes”. Whether they might have a female Captain for one “voyage” and a male Captain for another, I don’t know. No reason why not though.
As a Star Wars cosplayer, I’m all in. My husband will most likely not participate but watch from the sidelines, like always. He just wants to experience feeling like actually being in space. I’ve already upped my Disney budget for next year. I know it will be ridiculous but it’s going to be a once-in-a-lifetime thing. I do wonder exactly what we would do for those 2 days
No. I won’t have that. You’ve crossed a line. We’ve all had a lot of fun joking about Star Wars and Star Trek, but I will simply not tolerate disrespect being shown towards Doctor Who. The Daleks are awesome.
