I understand this isn't a world changing petition, but it would be a life changing one for my deserving friend and former colleague, Philander Butler. Philander is not only an exceptionally loyal and talented Guest Relations Representative at the Disneyland Resort, he is the biggest Star Wars fan I have met since the first movies were released in the late 1970's. I am creating this to raise awareness of the need to take one of Disney's best Magic Makers. To turn the table, and make magic for him. Philander has said that the biggest nights of his life, was getting to work the Red Carpet Premiere of Star Wars: Episode VII in December 2015! Philander is a Guest Relations Representative for Disney. He and his wife Holly, also a Disney CM, are expecting their first "Little Force" this coming fall. What a great legacy for the newest Butler. As a Guest Relations Representative who often conducts VIP Tours for families, wealthy dignitaries, politicians and celebrities, Philander is no stranger to working with important people. He knows a lot about loyalty and discretion. He can keep a secret. This is a valuable trait for anyone working in the new films. It doesn't hurt that he a young, handsome man who is very well spoken and liked. He also knows everything about the movies and Disney's future marketing endeavors. By signing this petition, you are letting the principal casting director for Star Wars: Episode VIII, Mary Vernieu at Betty Mae Casting, know directly how strongly we feel about seeing our friend Philander in the movie in December 2017!
