Anakin's Hair

#HaydenChristensen #StarWars

There seemed to be a lot of turmoil regarding the early direction for Anakin's hair in Star Wars Revenge of The Sith. Hayden Christensen seemed worried George Lucas would go with a prettier hair style for Anakin that Hayden wasn't comfortable with. Luckily we got the better hairstyle for the final product in RoTS!

Mohawk anakin is something I probably saw in my nightmares

[donovanbrice]

I like how the hairdressers talk about him like he's their son

0:05 I love how they even considered this as an option.

It's very difficult for Hayden to not look too pretty when he is handsome af.

George Lucas was polite AF when he saw Mohawk Anakin lol

[NefariousElasticity]

George: "He's gotta be rugged - remember, this guy's Darth Vader - but he's still a Jedi."
Costume director: MANBUNNED MOHAWK, SLEEVE, BIKER VEST
George: "No"

I honestly love how Anakin looked in Revenge of the Sith. The hair style, his dark Jedi robes, and that scar on his face made him look really handsome, I like to imagine when they were alone Padmé liked to run her fingers through Anakin’s curly hair because she liked it so much.

I love how they are taking into consideration the actor's opinions and feelings

[Dzumeister]

“It’s always gotta look rugged”

*ends up with luscious locks*

Hayden with that Anakin God really does have favorites out here.

[EpicAndrew]

“It cant be cute”
It was still cute in the final product

Hayden was a lot more vocal about the direction of the character in ROTS, which is probably why the performance was so much better. He was probably star struck and just thankful for role in episode 2. By this movie, he IS Anakin Skywalker and probably felt like he should voice his opinion a lot more. Like in this scene when he straight up tells George Lucas that he essentially does not like the hair.

It's such a small thing, but it gave me a considerable amount of joy to hear that the choice would take into consideration that Hayden needed to feel comfortable with it.

Anakin's ROTS hair is one of the many great things SW has blessed us with

[xxbrkdwnxx]

the hairstyle they went with was perfect because it makes his silhouette almost look like Vader's helmet.

0:17 I love how George Lucus has a literal "stamp of approval"

[josephjackson]

George Lucas is moving his hair like he’s his son. Like he’s a dad.

[rociscool]

"It cant be too pretty. It has to be rugged."
Meanwhile Obi-Wan: Ah yes I will have a combover.

[nemofish]

I’ve always had a crush on him, especially when he was anakin and his hair was like this

[jeseramirez]

The fact that Hayden played a part in picking the perfect hair for anakin makes my feel warm inside
