THE FORCE IS STRONG WITH LUCAS
Collectors will recall how quickly the previous George Lucas action figure Jorg Sacul from the Star Wars Celebration II sold out when offered a few years ago. History is destined to repeat itself with this exclusive offering, which depicts George Lucas as a character actually seen in a Star Wars movie (unlike the Jorg Sacul figure). What's more, the entire cast of Lucas family cameos is here, offered for the first and only time by StarWarsShop.com. Eagle-eyed fans watching “Revenge of the Sith” may have noticed George Lucas' first-ever Star Wars cameo as the blue-faced Baron Papanoida waiting outside the Coruscant Opera House. What some may not realize, however, is that the entire Lucas enclave – Katie, Amanda, and Jett Lucas also made brief appearances in the movie.

WHAT IS INCLUDED
Zett Jukassa (Jett Lucas)
A young Padawan at the time of the fall of the Jedi, Zett Jukassa studied extremely hard in the library within the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Bail Organa witnessed the death of this 10-year old Jedi student who single-handedly took down several Clone Troopers while defending the Jedi Temple before being cut down by an overwhelming barrage of Clone Trooper fire.

Baron Papanoida (George Lucas)
An influential Wroonian guild baron has earned fame throughout the Republic for his vastly popular holodramas and with his contacts throughout the galaxy. Baron Papanoida is rumored to have an information network that rivals that of the Bothans. His ultimate allegiance, however, remains unknown. Can we say whatever it takes to make credits? What is especially neat about the Baron Papanoida figure is that on the top of his cane sits the Death Star. Was Baron Papanoida involved with the construction of the Death Star?

Terr Taneel (Amanda Lucas)
Taneel was a loyalist, serving in a committee close to Palpatine during the Clone Wars. She was one of the receiving Senators who waited on the Senate landing platform following Palpatine's rescue from General Grievous' clutches. Hailing from the planet Neelanon, this idealistic senator joins other loyalists and becomes an instrumental figure in the eventual formation of the Rebel Alliance.

Chi Eekway (Katie Lucas)
An influential Twi’lek Senator during the Clone Wars, Chi Eekway was a member of the inner circle of loyalists that advised Chancellor Palpatine during those trying times. She was rumored to have close contact with the mysterious Baron Papanoida.
