Legends of Tomorrow airs in the UK on Sky1 and will return from its winter break in January.
The DC series – a spin-off to Arrow and The Flash – will place Lucas front and centre of an upcoming episode following the midseason finale’s reveal that character Rip Hunter (Broadchurch actor Arthur Darvill) is working as a filmmaker in 1967 Hollywood.
If you don’t know what Legends of Tomorrow is, you’re probably going to think it’s the wackiest television show in existence following the news that a young version of George Lucas will be showing up as a character.
There won’t even be any need for Rogue One-style CGI to bring the younger incarnation of Lucas to life; actor Matt Angel will play the filmmaker.
