ForceCast #278: It's A Date!

We have an official release date! We also have news about casting calls we believe may be for Episode VII. Eric and Erik read the audition piece for "Thomas and Rachel," discuss what the character descriptions mean (if anything at all), and discuss a new actor rumored to be considered for an unnamed role. We’ve got all this and more in this week’s ForceCast!
