AN 'EMPIRE' AT 40: COSTUMING LANDO!

Early John Mollo costume design ideas for Lando.

Of all the male characters in the original Star Wars universe, Lando Calrissian had to be one of the most flamboyant and fun to create wardrobes for. Academy Award-winning British costume designer John Mollo created the final simple but effective look for the Baron Administrator that was both practical for long shooting days and also visually be both dashing and subtly heroic (Billy Dee Williams, always an ultra smart man, particularly loving the cape he'd wear with his Empire introduction).
