Star Wars Holiday Special: 25 WTF Moments

22. Luke's Ridiculous Hair

Finally, Luke Skywalker shows up! Time to rejoice, right? After Chewie's family are unable to contact him, they call up Luke, who is in his workshop with R2-D2, and presumably because Mark Hamill was shooting another project at the time, Luke sports a dyed blonde bob for a hairdo.

Also, because Hamill was still scarred from a recent car accident, makeup was applied to his face...including mascara for some reason, only exacerbating his already pretty damn ridiculous appearance.

For those who saw the show as it aired, it must've been mighty tough to take Luke seriously in the subsequent movies.
