    BEIJING, May 6 -- Bai Ling, who was set to appear as Senator Bana Breemu in the upcoming "Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith," has apparently been cut from the film.

    Ling, who was in the Mann Chinese Theatre in Hollywood to promote the film, blamed her upcoming spread in Playboy magazine for her ousting.

    "I posed for Playboy, and it may have been doing that which upset George Lucas, the "Star Wars" creator and director," Ling told the New York Post.

    A Lucas films spokesperson confirmed the cut, but claimed it had happened more than a year ago.

    Ling's Playboy spread is in the June issue of the magazine.
