I'd bet that Lucas' lawyers wouldn't be able to sue based on a hairstyle. I don't think you can trademark a hairstyle, anyway.
Probably they wanted to use someone quite a bit younger than Carrie Fisher as the model on the cover to give the impression of Princess Leia and the only way to really do that is to hide her face. Now if they had used a production still--or a publicity photo of Carrie Fisher AS Princess Leia--Lucas might be able to sue.
