Star Wars Creator Helped Direct a Game of Thrones Episode: Guess Which One?

Star Wars director George Lucas has turned out to be a Game of Thrones fan. Using his position, he visited the set of the show and even became the director of one of the scenes involving Jon Snow and Daenerys.

Lucas arrived for the filming of the first episode of the eighth season. The great director helped film the scene in which Daenerys complains to Jon that Sansa doesn't like her.

After concluding that he had no complaints about the filming process, the master jokingly (or not) told Kit Harington that, in general, he does not care about the fate of his character.

The first episode can be considered one of the most successful of the disastrous eighth season (maybe it was Lucas' influence).

The best thing about episode (and the season as a whole) had to do with Winterfell and the characters gathered there.

There is just an incredible amount of new acquaintances and reunions of old friends and enemies who have not seen each other for several seasons, which fans could not help but enjoy.

Jon Snow rides a dragon for the first time and finally learns the truth about his heritage.

There is drama as the Stark sisters refuse to accept their new Targaryen queen and the strange new status of the brother consort who has abdicated as King in the North.

It is also where the first battle with the Walkers who have breached the Wall is being prepared.

But it might not just be Lucas' love of Game of Thrones. George Lucas, the man who sold Star Wars to Disney for $4 billion, kept abreast. He met with every director of all the sequels and spin-offs.

However, no one revealed what exactly he did. Maybe he gave fatherly advice or discussed plot details.

But then it was clearly the turn of David Benioff and D. B. Weiss, the showrunners of Game of Thrones: this couple was going to shoot a new Star Wars trilogy, and many believed that the plot would go back to the deep past of the Knights of the Old Republic.

However, the movie about a galaxy far, far away from the creators of one of the most iconic TV series of the 21st century never happened – Benioff and Weiss decided to abandon this idea, instead partnering with Netflix.
