Over the last few years, we’ve seen a lot of awesome cameos in the Star Wars TV universe. There was Saturday Night Live’s Horatio Sanz as a bounty hunter, Jason Sudeikis and Adam Pally played Stormtroopers, and we can’t forget Danny Trejo as a Rancor keeper.
Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau, the creators of The Mandalorian and the guys who are basically the Star Wars TV Universe, spoke to Entertainment Weekly about a cameo they would love to see in one of their shows: Star Wars creator George Lucas.
Um, that would be amazing.
Dave Filoni and Jon Favreau want George Lucas in a Star Wars show
George Lucas made a cameo appearance in 2005’s Revenge of the Sith as the blue statesman Baron Papanoida. So he’s down for this kind of thing, right?
So is there a chance that the Baron could pop up in the next season of The Mandalorian? According to Filoni, “He’d have to be the son of Baron Papanoida or something like that. I don’t know. I wouldn’t even speculate on that.”
While this sounds amazing, we won’t get our hopes up too high. But I love that Filoni and Favreau have extended an open invitation.
According to Favreau, Lucas has visited the set of The Mandalorian before. “I love watching Dave and George together,” Favreau said. “George, I have tremendous respect for. I’ve been very fortunate to have great conversations where I’ve learned a lot. But when I see Dave and George Lucas together, that’s like a whole .”
Two geniuses in one room: that sounds like a dream come true!
Hopefully, there is a future in which George Lucas decides to make a cameo once again. I think we would all love that, wouldn’t we?
