That 70s Jedi

Photo of a long-haired Anakin Skywalker emerges

The French STAR WARS fansite Sith Clan.net was the first to reprint the first released image of EPISODE III's Anakin Skywalker as it appeared in that country's Lucasfilm Fanclub magazine. It's a far cry from the short-haired look the character sported in EPISODE II; in addition to sporting a longer mane of hair (created to "bridge" the gap between EPISODE III and the bigger 'do's seen in EPISODE IV), this older version of Anakin looks positively haunted in the photo.

If the French have the first EPISODE III images in their magazine, it shouldn't be long before the Star Wars Insider or the official website will have theirs.
