Chairman Papanoida is based on George Lucas' cameo appearance in the opera house scene in Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. Papanoida's family members are based on Lucas' children. Given the amount of dialogue delivered by Papanoida, voice actor Corey Burton plays the role, who gives a nod to the character's roots by basing his voice on another famous director, Orson Welles.
