Star Wars Idol Auditions

So all over the news this month was the Star Wars "audition" Tour. The most oxi-moronic thing I've ever heard of!

Disney's smart I'll give them that, but if you REALLY think you had a chance to audition for a part, you're dumber than a Nerf Herder. This was a brilliant publicity stunt to get free press as well as folks excited about the upcoming film.

If you read the reports no actually auditioned for a role. They spoke to a talent agent for a few seconds then were encouraged to participate in a social media event online and submit there audition video to be reviewed at a later date.

Now 10 million people can say that they "auditioned" for Star Wars, while waiting in line in the movie theater in 2015.

Cut the crap Disney. I know you've cast the movie already since it begins filming next month and there's no way you could make contract agreements with every time in time for the cameras to start rolling.

Just tell us who's who and move on. I'm sick and tired the "top secret" appearance to this movie that you're hoping will drum up free press for you while you STILL try to figure out the script. (that's right folks, it's not done yet)

Anyway, just thought I'd ramble.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING AGAIN!
