Footnotes

This important workbook includes hand drawn and occasionally coloured character designs and artwork for the main characters, many based on George Lucas instructions and Ralph McQuarrie and Joe Johnston's original production illustrations and designs. The notes and sketches were John Mollo's personal account of his design process. Taking George Lucas' vision and creating workable and durable costumes. It was vital for Lucas that Star Wars looked unlike any other sci-fi film. He wanted his characters to reflect light and dark. He did not want the over-dramatic costumes or anything too fanciful. While Mollo confessed that he had very little experience or understanding of the science-fiction genre, previously only working on film productions as a consultant for historical military accuracy, this was to be his advantage. Lucas wanted a more regimented look for The Star Wars, as the film was originally titled. Who better to bring this to life than a military costume expert who had little understanding or regard for fantasy film apparel. While there is drama created by the sinister 'Darth Vader' and monochrome 'Stormtroopers', comedy and quirks from 'C-3PO' and 'R2-D2' and extraterritorial imaginings in the form of the 'Cantina Alien rabble', they are set against regimented German inspired Imperial guards and Generals letting the audience focus on the sets, fight scene and spaceship models. The protagonists 'Luke Skywalker', 'Han Solo', 'Princess Leia' and 'Obi-Wan Kenobi' all wear relatively simple understated costumes based on peasants, cowboys, medieval and monk attire. Contradictory to how they are viewed now, which is as some of the most iconic film wardrobe ingrained in Hollywood film history.

This important manuscript helps to show the production workings for putting these principles into practice. John Mollo's draftsmenship is seen in his breaking down of key costume elements, working out shapes and how practically these are to be put into motion. He scoured costumiers Bermans & Nathans collection of military uniforms and costume for hire to find the basics for many of the characters. As he elaborates 'For Darth Vader I had to go to three departments: the ecclesiastical department for a robe, the modern department for a motorcycle suit and the military department for a (Second World War) German helmet and gas mask. We cobbled it all together and there was Darth Vader.' This was the start of a very arduous process for the art department's Brian Muir, together with John Barry's input, who was given Mollo's design and tasked with making Vader's helmet come to life. This was also later in the design schedule and as such he only had time to produce a single concept. Thankfully George Lucas approved and a single costume and helmet were made for filming.

Serving also as Mollo's personal production and development diary the volume contains detailed meeting notes with the films development team including Producer/Director/Writer George Lucas, along with budgets and costume groupings. The fundamental themes for the main characters, Imperialists and Rebels were discussed. It was from this that Mollo began the costume design and production process. Extensive diary planning and liaison with other departments and teams is also well documented.
