Star Wars Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back: an early costume design for Lando Calrissian in coloured pen

Lucasfilm, 1980, 2

Lucasfilm, 1980,
a pre-production sketch in pencil, ink and coloured pen titled Lando in John Mollo's hand and signed by the artist, with smaller sketch of 'Lando' in a different pose, details of working ideas for his belt and shoulder embellishment, 12in x 16in (31cm x 41cm) (2)

This design is more flamboyant than what was finally used in the film. With ornate chest armour and belt that was simplified down for the production. However the overall blue and grey colouring remained the same as did Calrissian's trade-mark blue cape with orange lining.
