HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Certainly one of the finest and truly grisly make-ups of the Prequel Trilogy, Dave Elsey's look for the burnt to a crisp Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker, for the doom laden climax of EPISODE III, proved a big success.

STAR WARS AFICIONADO wishes all our readers the most horrible HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

BEHIND THE SCENES: NO SMOKING!

A mock-up head and shoulders cast of Hayden Christensen's then upcoming make-up for the burnt Anakin Skywalker, now Darth Vader, makes an impression at the FOX STUDIOS, Australia, in 2003

CLASSIC IMAGE: DRESSED TO IMPRESS...

Some of the wonderful costumes and make-up brought to life by Trisha Biggar and Dave/ Lou Elsey with their dedicated teams for the lavish spectacle and drama of EPISODE III. This was a composite image used as part of a well-deserved campaign effort by LUCASFILM to get their work recognised by the Academy Awards. Sadly, and as usual with modern Hollywood's frustrating attitudes towards George Lucas, it failed to happen.
