Amanda "Powerhouse" Lucas who has had parts in all 3 of the latest installments of Star Wars films. Made her fighting debut in Aukland, New Zealand as a part of the "Princesses of Pain" event. Amanda fought against a kickboxer Nicole Kavanagh while the event was being filmed for The Women's International Fight League reality show. Her nick name "Powerhouse" is because of the punches she packs says Belinda Dunne the events promoter. Amanda had this to say about recording the event and starring on the new reality show."Staying in a hostel with six other girls. Eating the same food. She has not once been a prima donna about it. Within her team-mates, none of them really give a crap (about her links to fame). Amanda is an amazing person within herself. Being in New Zealand has been good for her. She's been here since Sunday and no one's taken any notice. It's great for her first fight. It's been about her and not about who she is."
Amanda who is the daughter of Star Wars creator George Lucas is trained in Muay thai, Jiu jitsu and Kickboxing. Hopefully we wont see George test his hand in a MMA promotion and start "Ewok Extreme fighting" any time soon.
