The Force Is Strong With These 35 Families

It's been a big week for "Star Wars"-loving families, with the casting news for the upcoming movie, Episode VII announced on Tuesday.

While Adam Driver and Andy Serkis may make excellent acting choices for the upcoming film, there is some overlooked talent lurking in our online midst. Yes, not so long ago, in a galaxy not at all far away, these children (and their geeky parents) put together "Star Wars" auditions of their own -- and they didn't even know it.

J.J., if you need extras, look no further. (Or, in the words of Chewie, WAAAARGHGHGHHAAAAAGH!)
