20 Things You Somehow Missed In Star Wars: The Clone Wars

You're likely well aware at this point of George Lucas' brilliantly silly cameo appearance in Episode III - Revenge of the Sith as Baron Notluwiski Papanoida.

But that wasn't the last we'd see of this Pantoran figure, of course, with The Clone Wars bringing the character back for the 'Sphere of Influence' episode in season three.

What you may not have realised when first watching that particular episode involving Papanoida's daughters being kidnapped, though, is the fact that said offspring were actually based on Lucas' own real-life kids.

On top of Chi Eekway and Che Amanwe being based on Katie (who was also the writer of the episode) and Amanda Lucas, Ion Papanoida was also inspired by Lucas' son Jett. 

These animated cameos aren't the first time the rest of the Lucas clan have shown up in the galaxy far, far away either, with all three making appearances in the prequel trilogy, too.
