George Lucas coming to Legends of Tomorrow?

It looks like everyone’s favorite movie producer is going to be coming to DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, or more accurately, an actor portraying him. Actor Matt Angel has been cast to play the role of George Lucas in the upcoming 9th episode of the season. Check out more details on what this entails below, and share your thoughts AFTER THE JUMP. Legends of Tomorrow returns with all new episodes on Tuesday, January 24th at 8pm Central on the CW.

“Because of circumstances, the time aberration in episode 209 is George Lucas quits film school,” executive producer Marc Guggenheim explained. “As a result, he never makes Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark. As a result, Ray, who became an engineer because of Star Wars, and Nate, who became a historian because of Raiders, slowly start to lose their brilliance, because those things that inspired them to become who they are didn’t exist.”

Guggenheim continued to gush about the episode and said it will mark a turning point for the superhero series for better or worse.

“We were watching a cut of it, and I said to Greg [Berlanti] that 209 is either going to be the episode where we’ll say that the show found a new gear in terms of how zany it can be, or it’s the episode that’s going to get us all fired,” he joked. “It really is. You’re laughing out loud, I think with it, but it’s like, ‘Are we really doing this?’ It’s the ’70s bar fight on steroids. The whole episode is that level of crazy.”
