24 • THE ARTISAN FALL 2024 SABINE WREN: Maria Sandoval/Alex Perrone MS: is was the first time we were going to see bright fashion colors represented in the Star Wars universe, so I rewatched Rebels and noted that the tones of Sabine's hair—although bright—still felt dusty and muted, and I wanted to replicate that for her live-action debut. While in prep, I had Wendy Southard strand test every brand of fashion color in addition to many fabric dyes, narrowing the choices down until we could test them in Stagecra (the LED volume that we film in) to see how they would look on camera. A total of four wigs were made for Sabine: two fully custom hand- tied pixie wigs (ventilated by Anneliese Boies) using hair dyed with a combination of permanent hair color at the root and fabric dye on the ends, a long pale blonde wig custom colored by me with a combination of fashion colors and fronted by Dawn Dudley, and a mid-length wig (also fronted by Dawn) colored by me to be used during the haircut scene. To alleviate some of the discomfort of wearing a wig every day, we were able to come up with a wrap that allowed us to use ZERO toupee or snap clips. A self-adhesive ACE bandage was used Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen) Morgan Elsbeth (Diana Lee Inosanto) along with GOT2B glued gel on the hairline, and double ponytail "smush" wrap allowed for the wig to be held on with only KD adhesive and a few hairpins. CW: Actress Natasha Liu Bordizzo was transformed into the fan favorite edgy character of Sabine Wren by make-up artist Alex Perrone. With strategic emphasis on her eye shape, a combination of warm brown eyeshadow and flecks of blue shadow were applied and then subtly intensified aer Sabine cuts her hair. ANAKIN SKYWALKER: Maria Sandoval/Cristina Waltz/Gabriela Quiñonez MS: What an honor it was to be able to recreate the classic Anakin look from Revenge of the Sith for Episode 5! We knew that VFX would be needed to "de-age" our actor, so it was imperative that the hair match perfectly to the original film footage. For this look, Raquel Bianchini fronted a wig that I custom colored and added we to the back of for fullness. For e Clone Wars flashback hair, Raquel created an integration piece that worked seamlessly with Hayden Christensen's own hair to mimic the look seen previously
