A man came saying they were looking
for extras to play the parents of Jedi
in an upcoming Star Wars film. Word
spread quickly thanks to social media
and soon a crowd had gathered on
the lawn outside a public park. Some
picked up sticks and practiced their
light saber skills. Others did squats
and stretches to ready for acrobatics.
The man knew there would be no such
scenes in the film. These people would
not be Jedi. They would be the parents
of Jedi. They would appear only in non-
speaking roles, in flashbacks: setting
the table with a stern look as a young
hero plays with his action figures;
lost in a novel as a young heroine
learns she can levitate the furniture.
And the scenes would almost certainly
be cut from the film to enhance
the protagonists' air of mystery.
He looked through the crowd for
people who already seemed to know
this. They were not hard to find.
