First Look at George Lucas CG Cameo in CLONE WARS

I love Cartoon Network's the Clone Wars.  It's a widely popular show that has received accolades from nearly everyone that reviews it or watches it on a regular basis.  Until now!

The reason the Clone Wars is exciting and captivating is because the storyline, plot and writing are very, very good.  That is in large part do to the absence of George Lucas.  Don't believe me?  Just remember that ESB was the best of the six Star Wars movies because of his absence.  Let's hope his mug is all we have to endure during this episode and beyond.

Check out George Lucas' blue mug in the latest Clone Wars episode! Lucas is reprising his role as Baron Papanoida, a character he portrayed in Revenge of the Sith. But in Clone Wars he's much more... agile. See for yourself!
