I was sitting in my reading room (bathroom) perusing the latest issue of Backstage West when I came across this awesome ad:

I am so there!

Not to audition, but to see the cattle call of performers "Dressed Appropriately" for the role!!!

You telling me you don't wanna see that?

I guess it's all part of Disney's Star Wars Weekends where the "Stars" (Mark Hamill) get to meet, interact and connect with the public.

The best thing is, the Debbie Reynolds Studios is real close to me and about 20 feet from an all nude strip club! You know some Jedis will will be partaking in a lil' cantina sequence and lapdances in full costume.
