A George play a purpose in the return of Game of Thronesthis retiring weekend . Just perhaps not the George youmay have presume .

In the wake of Game of Thrones ’ restoration , HBO has released a young behind - the - scenes featurette about what hold out into make the season premiere , “ Winterfell , ” a reality . There ’s a clump of stuff in there about the process of making the episode ( obviously , it choke into despoiler - y plot details , so if you have n’t check the premiere yet , consider yourself in two ways warned ! ) . Most delightfully , though , it reveals the moment that George Lucas just show up on set … and actually helped give some notes on a scene to Emilia Clarke and Kit Harington .

perchance he just wanted to take heed whateverthat movie trilogyWeiss and Benioff have plan in his erstwhile galaxy is about . But still ! George Lucas ! direct a moment of Game of Thrones ?

I desperately hope he told them to play it “faster, more intense”.
