Amanda Lucas, George Lucas' Daughter, Debuts As Extreme Fighter

Congratulations to Amanda Lucas, daughter of franchise-ruination-hastening Hollywood superproducer George Lucas, for having successfully completed her first public, mixed martial arts competitive bout in Auckland this weekend. From /film.com:

Amanda Lucas, the 27-year-old daughter of George Lucas, made her mixed martial arts debut in Auckland New Zealand on Saturday night under the stage name Amanda "Powerhouse" Lucas.

The billionaire filmmaker's daughter took on Australian kickboxer Nicole Kavanagh in a 73kg MMA contest at the Auckland Boxing Association Stadium. Apparently Amanda, who appeared in minor cameo roles in the three Star Wars prequels, was a hip-hop teacher in San Francisco but had years of martial arts training including kickboxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian ju-jitsu. In the Star Wars films, Amanda appeared as a dancer in The Phantom Menace, an Outlander Club patron in Attack of the Clones, and Senator Terr Taneel in Revenge of the Sith.

That's it, Huff Po. You're little aggregation will be blocked on this subnet until you quit censoring me. I'll call Lucas a bad parent when and where I want. Try and stop me.

Aww.... censoring me again. Nice. HuffPo, I'll block you from this network if you keep that up.

She feels the shame of JarJar Dinks and SW 1,2,3 (yes they sucked). Now she has a healthy way to take out that anger!!

[MikeDu]

My first thought is McCain wants to shelter the family trust funds of people like this?

[SecretSquirrel666]

If that was honestly your first thought.........................

[Gary47]

Gee, who would have thought.

[AdultFilmLegend]

I hope The Force is with her.

[LiberalBuzz]

Well she's got a very hard act to follow. Although I am somewhat surprised she didn't learn the business and work it with her father.

Each to their own I guess, just seems like it's not much of a life being a female fighter.

Issues indeed.

[Wolfgang]

Now that is a women with issues.

[ScandalousCandice]

Did she win though? No one is saying if she won or not.

[gonavy]

She lost.
