George Lucas is set to make an appearance on Syfy’s new giant fighting robot show, Robot Combat League.
The episode, titled A Hero’s Journey, is set to air on March 12 at 10 PM ET/ET. It will feature the former Star Wars grand poobah making a surprise visit to watch his daughter, MMA fighter Amanda Lucas, in action. Amanda Lucas' robot Robo Hammer will be making a play for the eventual $100,000 grand prize.
Each week Robot Combat League – hosted by wildly popular WWE Superstar Chris Jericho – features tournament-style battles between eight-foot tall robots controlled by a human fighter (“robo-jockey”) and an engineer (“robo-tech”).
