Fightchick: George Lucas's Daughter is a Different Kind of Jedi

Posted by Fara Kearnes on June 3, 2008 3:57 PM |

lucasNo Princess Leia here: Amanda Lucas, the adopted daughter of Star Wars director George Lucas has taken up an odd past time - she likes to hit other girls.

The 27-year-old heiress made her mixed martial arts ring debut in the "Princesses of Pain" Auckland, New Zealand, last Saturday with a U.S. all-female fight team.

Amanda, 27, was pitted against Kiwi kickboxer Nicole Kavanagh in the 73kg MMA contest.

Princesses of Pain promoter Belinda Dunne said Amanda's arrival created a buzz among martial artists but the billionaire's daughter had fitted straight in.

She's even staying at the same central Auckland backpackers' lodge as her team-mates, despite being accompanied by her American bodybuilder fiancee.

"She's staying in a hostel with six other girls. Eating the same food. She has not once been a prima donna about it," Belinda told Sunday News. "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."

Known in the ring as Amanda "Powerhouse" Lucas, she was a hip-hop teacher in San Francisco but has had years of martial arts training including kickboxing, Muay Thai and Brazilian ju-jitsu.
