Hair and Make-up

Star Wars, May 25 1977, George Lucas

In the Star Wars movies but specifically in the original you can see a range of uses of make-up and prosthetic’s especially in the Mos Eisley Cantina scene. The uses of this can be seen through as all the aliens look realistic and make-up creates realism to an unbelievable and the look carries on till today unlike the prequels where the use of CGI aliens looks unrealistic as it hasn’t aged well like the other practical effects what gave off real movement from face features such as Greedo’s antennas what are able to move thanks to prosthetic’s in the mask. As well the hair being messy for everyone except for both Tarkin and Leia what is done to show separation of the people at the top of the galaxy compared Han Solo or Luke who are scruffy asĀ  they come from the less strict and political part of the galaxy.
