Star Wars creator George Lucas paid a trip to the Game of Thrones set and even took a moment to direct Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke.

Yep, the legendary filmmaker was seen hanging out with the cast and crew in HBO’s behind-the-scenes video, giving pointers and even taking a cheeky swipe at Jon Snow star Kit.

Recalling the incredible day of events, showrunner David Benioff recalled: ‘When we found out that George Lucas wanted to visit, we thought maybe it was a practical joke, and then we were really excited and also nervous because it’s George Lucas.’

‘I had George sitting in my director’s chair. It was really cool,’ David Nutter added.

George mucked in in-between takes, telling Kit: ‘No direction for you.

‘I don’t really care about you, I don’t care about what happens to you.’

Speaking to the cameras Benioff added: ‘The first time I can remember telling stories was me as a kid meshing together these little stormtrooper dolls.

‘He’s [Lucas] the one who started our obsession with this kind of epic storytelling.’

Game of Thrones season eight kicked off on Sunday, with HBO reporting that a whopping 17.4million of us tuned in to watch it.

One eagle-eyed viewer noticed a glaring continuity error with Daenerys’ wig and pointed it out for the rest of the world to see on Twitter.

We’re guessing George wasn’t around to help in the editing suite.

Game Of Thrones continues on HBO and Sky Atlantic next Sunday. Seasons one to seven are available to stream on NOW TV.
