LucasFilm has declined to comment, but it is thought characters have been given non sci-fi names and descriptions to disguise the nature of the auditions. The Star Wars franchise has a history of giving major roles to little-known actors through the traditional casting process; dating back to the original trilogy when then unknown Mark Hamill won the role of Luke Skywalker.
