Star Wars: Episode VII needs you!  While the principal cast for the J.J. Abrams film was recently announced by Disney, the production still has a host of background characters and extras to hire in order to populate their fantastical worlds.  The people they're looking for range from the rather generic "interesting looks" to the more specific (and possibly plot-related) "Sailors/Fisherman/Navy types ... Salty Sea Dogs wanted."

Could the cast of Star Wars: Episode VII be headed to a port city, or perhaps the sea itself?  Or maybe they just need some ruffians to populate a bar scene similar to the iconic Cantina sequence?  Whatever it is, we'll find out more on May 14th, which is when production is unofficially reported to kick off.  Hit the jump for more from this Star Wars: Episode VII casting call and to see how you can get your chance to join the production.
