February 11, 2000 -- Some of you may have heard news in the
                          press this week about an article that originated
in Variety
                          regarding casting of Episode II. I wanted to take
a moment to
                          set the record straight.
                          George is still working on the script for Episode
II so at the
                          moment Robin Gurland is only casting for Anakin.
Thus far,
            Robin has seen 700 tapes and submissions and met with 300
candidates. She
            does not have a short list yet and is still exploring many
possibilities. I know
            there have been many reports of actors saying that they have met
with George
            Lucas and have done readings for him, or are the number one
choice for
            Anakin. These are false rumors (but fun to read!).
            Regarding other characters, Robin will not begin to cast other
parts until she
            gets a character breakdown from George. The Variety article was
completely
            false in reporting that we have roles for "a Native American
character with a
            forceful, spiritual nature and an Asian character, possibly
trained in martial arts."
            In addition to the fact that we won't have character
descriptions until the script is
            finished, the descriptions reported would never be appropriate
for a Star Wars
            film. The diversity of actors who have appeared in Star Wars
such as Pernilla
            August (Anakin's mother), Hugh Quarshie (Captain Panaka), Dhruv
Chanchani
            (Kitster), and Kristina DaSilva (Rabe) were chosen for the
talent they brought to
            their roles--not because they were Swedish, Ghanaian, Indian, or
Brazilian. The
            Star Wars movies have always been populated with a rich cast of
characters
            that make up this fantasy world.
            In this day and age my job is constantly filled with frustration
(and sometimes
            humor) at what is reported as news. The Variety article was
picked up by a
            news service that was then picked up by radio stations. All I
can say is,
            everything you read on the STAR WARS.com website is true. Other
than
            that--be wary!

    Difatti! Mi pare che la smentita (che poi smentita non e') della LFL sia
stata fin troppo tempestiva, della serie:  "Volevamo dirlo noi, ma quei
pettegoli di Variety e Co. ci hanno battuti sul tempo!"  ^____^^

Adeso diranno: visto che il film e' razzista! Hanno preso quegli attori solo
perche' sono bravi! ;-))

Addio amico mio. Io ero mille volte piu' malefico di te.
E poi lascio' la Terra con un balzo sfrecciando verso l'alto 
e con voce selvaggia rise beffardamente della bilancia 
cosmica, saturando l'universo della sua empia gioia.
