George Lucas, creator of Star Wars, reportedly has an audio cameo in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is now on the backend of its theatrical run, having crossed $1 billion worldwide and surpassed the total haul of Rogue One. The film is packed with surprise moments, lore, and Easter Eggs but did you know that one of them might involve George Lucas?
The creator of the franchise reportedly has an audio cameo in the film where he can be heard screaming. Clayton Sandell reports the following for Good Morning America:
“The Rise of Skywalker, sources tell ABC News, also contains a deep audio Easter egg: a scream that is actually the voice of Star Wars creator George Lucas. The clip, affectionately called ‘The George,’ was originally recorded for the director’s 1973 film American Graffiti. It has appeared in several movies, including Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
