That’s right, the man often found behind the camera on a Star Wars film also stepped in front of it on one occasion – although you would be hard-pressed to notice him.

Perhaps knowing it would be the final time he worked on a Star Wars movie, Lucas appeared in Revenge of the Sith as Baron Papanoida, the ruler of the planet Pantora. You would be forgiven for not noticing him though, as it’s a tiny walk-on part. Plus, he’s covered in blue face make-up.

The character later reappeared on the Star Wars: The Clone Wars TV series, though he was voiced on that occasion by Corey Burton.
