After all of the Star Wars: Episode VII casting rumors going around, followed by denials, it's nice to know that one young star actually auditioned for a role in the movie. Saoirse Ronan recently confirmed rumors about auditioning for a role in the J.J. Abrams film and was pretty open about what went on. She got to audition with a lightsaber!

Ronan said: "Yeah, I did [audition for Star Wars: Episode 7]... I don't know whether I should have said that now! I mean, everyone did. Everyone has auditioned for it. So many people I know have gone in for the part I've gone in for, and guys who've gone in for a particular part, so I'd imagine J.J. is probably just scanning the earth to find the people that he needs. But nobody has a clue what it's about, and nobody's read the script."

Though Ronan might have sounded like the audition wasn't a big deal, she also revealed that she was asked to pantomime a lightsaber!

She added: "So I've gone in and read for it, but I have to say, I think it's the only time I've ever thought, 'You know what? Even if I don't get it, I had so much fun auditioning, pretending to take out a lightsaber - out of a bag, kind of inspect it and not know what it is. That was... that was great. A lightsaber! Star Wars!"

In other news, Chloe Moretz was the most recent celebrity to deny another Star Wars audition.

"No, no rumors I don't know how they get started," she told Latino-Review. "But it would be great to be a part of it. I don't think Disney doesn't know what's really going to happen. I don't even think they cast the principle roles yet." 

Which young star would you rather want to see in the 2015 blockbuster?
