Star Wars III: Attack of the Mullets
Star Wars movie-maker George Lucas is insisting all the characters in the new sci-fi sequel sport shaggy seventies-style haircuts - so they look like the stars of the original films. Star Wars: Episode III actors Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christensen, currently shooting the final installment on set in New South Wales, Australia, are showing off unfashionable "mullet" hairdos - because they were trendy when the first Star Wars film was made in 1977. An onset source explains, "The idea is that it will lead seamlessly on to the original Star Wars movie, starring Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill, which was filmed in the Seventies and had certain hallmarks of that era. It's a bid for continuity. They are trying to capture the shaggy look that was popular then

Knowing Lucas and his flair for the dramatic, it's real alright.

Hmmm... so the characters will wear the same hair styles for over 20 year hunh? LOL. Am I the only one who thinks that years of isolation at the Skywatcher Ranch have driven Lucas INSANE.
Surrounding himself with worshippers hasn't helped the quality of the first two prequel films. Don't any of these people have any taste to say anything?
Plus Rick McCallum comes across as the universe's biggest sycophant. Excuse me Rick, there is lots of brown stuff on the end of your nose, here's a handkerchief. Please wipe it off.
Well the only thing I can say about the prequels in general is:
"Fool me once shame on, fool me twice shame on me."
I won't be seeing Episode III, period. I would like to keep my happy memories of the original series in tact and not see them influenced by Lucas' revisionism. Plus, despite Lucas' high opinion of him, Hayden Christian is one of the worst actors I have ever had the misfortune to watch. Plus all the Jedi deserve to die because in the words of Dark Helmet:
"Good is SO DUMB."

Nothing will stop it from being a financial windfall for Lucas (it being the last of the SW movies nad all) but that does'nt mean it'll be a good movie by any standards.
For the record, I really liked the second half of TPM and Loved the first half of AOTC... Mabye they could just focus on Ewan and have him act Anakin's part too. ILM could always CGI Christensen's head over later and the acting would be good....dialogue would still be stiff and akward with Lucas at the helm though.

I was rather hoping that, having done the long-haired Kenobi look in AOtC - even though it was a particularly gay-assed long-haired look - Ewan McG would just have short hair and a beard, start him looking a bit more like the ANH Kenobi.

I must apologize for my previous outbursts. True or untrue, it was the straw that broke the proverbial dromedary's back. There was a time when I absolutely loved Star Wars. Sadly that time has passed.
