Princess Leia's famous sexy bun hairdo is set to make a comeback in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack Of The Clones. Star Wars creator George Lucas wasn't surprised when Carrie Fisher's hairstyle in the original sci-fi trilogy caused such a stir, and he hopes Natalie Portman's image as Leia's mother Queen Amidala is met with the same awe. But in a recent interview with Lucas for her Conversations From The Edge talk show, Fisher admits that hairdo almost didn't happen. She tells Lucas, "You tortured me with that hairstyle and I was too frightened that you were going to fire me because of the 10 pounds I'd put on that I went with it." Lucas retorts, "That hairdo was designed to be noticed and it was. That was the point. Fans will see how it started out in the new film. Amidala wears that hairstyle done the way it was originally intended, but it ended up being modified and brought down and becoming more braids. Yours became smaller and smaller. Just wait until you see hers - they're like two giant horns on the side of her head." Fisher also used the interview to challenge the movie maker about the sadomasochistic connections to Star Wars - Leia's gold bikini look as a slave in Return Of The Jedi has become a standard at sex parties. Lucas says, "I may have been naive but I missed that whole S&M angle on the whole thing. There was a little metal work to the suit but it was appropriate for the time period."
