Wig/Legends

A wig was a covering of the head made to resemble natural hair. It was worn by people trying to conceal their baldness or as a disguise—as exemplified by the cyborg pirate Attuma DuumThe Clone Wars: Deadly Hands of Shon-Ju. Sometimes, elaborate wigs were used a symbol of high status, notably amongst the Tof from the Firefist satellite galaxy.Star Wars (1977) 107 Some Hutts had the quirk to use live sha'rellian toops as wigs.
When Leia Organa Solo was still a young princess of Alderaan, she was once forced to wear a wig after she deliberately cut her hair. Madame Vesta, headmistress of Alderaan Select Academy for Young Ladies, used to think it was improper for a princess to sport short hair. Years before, her mother Padmé Amidala had worn a wig adorned with a gold faceframe during her coronation ceremony. Padmé continued to wear wigs during the Clone Wars while she was a senator as a part of some of her fancier outfits.
Due to the mimetic nature of their art, actors and singers often wore wigs to help them slip into their roles. Wigs made those artists appear a different age or condition, but they sometimes were a question of mere fashion and taste.Ambush at CorelliaStar Wars (1977) 77
