Holovid ones I mean.. and if there were, would the things they could act in be limited by the Empire?

If so, would there be a big market in underground holovids?

There's actors in the Star Wars universe - or at least there were, in the old EU.

Yes there were. Face from the Xwing novels used to be one.

Blacklisted holo movies and actors are dealt with in The Minos Cluster Campaign in Galaxy Guide 6.

Isn't there a scene in the prequels where they're at a play or an opera, too?

There was the scene with Palpy and Anakin at what I considered to be a Cirque de Soleil kind of thing.

Not sure if it's of any use, but there is a Holovid Celebrity Template on page 98 of the Heroes & Rogues book.

As well as Wedge Antilles' sister, Wynssa Starflare, from the X-Wing comics.

LOL, yeah it was. With female Mon Calamari no less! I think it was supposed to be the Star Wars version of an opera/ballet type of thing.

Maybe I was thinking of GG 9. But the adventure idea for the planet Adarlon in GG 6 does go into distributing illegal holos.

Thank you, thread, for inspiring some kind of Galaxy Quest / 3 Amigos campaign idea, where actors are forced to live up to their heroic HoloNet personas!

Never saw Galaxy Quest (the only things I know about it are that Sigourney Weaver described it as the time "when I said nothing intelligent for 9 months" and the lines "Try to hit its vulnerable spot!" "It's a rock, it doesn't have any vulnerable spots!"), but ¡Three Amigos! is a personal favorite of mine. Just trying to imagine Steve Martin, Martin Short and Chevy Chase in the Star Wars Universe is so awesome, it just made my day.

I've always had a soft spot for Galaxy quest, as it doesn't try to make light of us gaming / sci-fi geeks..

My actor character back in the day was reduced to bit parts in dodgy action films
