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. The fight will be part of a new reality television series planned around the formation of this new all-woman MMA league.

I saw an interview (well, he was approached by a paparazzi guy) and apparently he is not happy with her career choice, but he stiil supports her:

It was also noted that the fight was pretty mismatched and she got beaten pretty badly but kept coming back..:banghead::shockwhor

I suppose it would be too corny to say "let the force be with her", but I said it anyway.

Or as Yoda would say: "The Jed-eye is swollen on this one."
