Katie Lucas

Katie Lucas, born Amanda Lucas, is the adopted daughter of Star Wars creator George Lucas and film editor Marcia Lou Griffin. Born on July 1, 1988, she is one of three children of the couple, along with her siblings Jett and Everest. Katie has made a name for herself within the realm of Star Wars, contributing to the ever-expanding universe through her talents as a writer and voice actress.

Despite growing up around the world of Star Wars, it wasn't until her father began developing the prequel trilogy that Katie found herself more intimately involved with the franchise. Given her familial connection to the series, it would have been easy for her to rest on her father's laurels, but instead, Katie branched out and built her own legacy within the Star Wars universe. Early on, she made cameo appearances in all three prequel films: The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith.

Katie's contributions to Star Wars go beyond cameos, as she honed her skills as a writer by working on the popular animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars. She started her career as an apprentice writer, learning the ropes under the guidance of series creator and supervising director, Dave Filoni. As a writer, she has penned several episodes for the series, including "Assassin," "Sphere of Influence," and "Shadow Warrior."

In addition to her writing, Katie has also lent her voice to a number of Star Wars characters, primarily in the animated series The Clone Wars. Some of her notable voice roles include Chi Eekway Papanoida, a Pantoran politician, and her sister Che Amanwe, as well as the Nightsister Karis. Her voice acting has added depth to the many characters that populate the Star Wars universe, further cementing her creative contributions.

Katie's impact on the Star Wars franchise, especially in The Clone Wars, is undeniable. Her expertly crafted episodes showcase her keen understanding of the universe and its characters, driving emotionally resonant stories that have become highly regarded by fans. These episodes typically dive into the series' core themes, exploring concepts such as friendship, loyalty, and the struggle between good and evil.

Despite the end of her father's direct involvement with the franchise following the sale of Lucasfilm to Disney+, Katie's work stands as concrete evidence of the continued and ongoing impacts that the Lucas family has on the series. As a writer and voice actress, she has more than proven herself as a capable storyteller within the Star Wars universe, leaving her own unique mark on the family legacy.

With her passion, determination, and talent, Katie Lucas has solidified her own status as a formidable creative force in the world of Star Wars. Her expertise in both writing and voice acting has enriched the beloved franchise, creating memorable stories and characters for fans to enjoy for years to come.
