George Lucas is using the force to propel himself in front of the camera.

According to movie website imdb.com, the Star Wars director will make a cameo appearance in the upcoming final film in the sci-fi series.

Lucas is set to follow in the footsteps of Lord Of The Rings director Peter Jackson by briefly appearing before cameras in Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge Of The Sith.

Lucas is slated to play Baron Papanoida in an opera house scene.

Jackson has immortalized himself on screen in all three Lord Of The Rings films, playing the hobbit character Albert Dreary, an uncredited Rohirrim warrior and an unnamed mercenary on a boat in The Fellowship Of The Ring, The Two Towers and Return Of The King, respectively.
