While the title to Star Wars: Episode III is still being debated around cyberspace, one thing is certain about the final Star Wars movie. It's going all out for that retro-feel.

In an attempt for better continuity between Episode III and the original Star Wars that was filmed in the 1970s, George Lucas is requesting that all the actors let their hair down, literally. In particular, Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor will be sporting "Jedi Mullets," a term that makes reference to a popular '70s hair style that was seen often in the original movie.

Apparently, the galaxy far, far away isn't immune to the occasional retro time period.
