John Mollo, Costume Designer for Star Wars, Has Passed Away

John Mollo, as reported by The Times, has passed away at the age of 86. His expertise was in military history, serving as a consultant for period dramas such as Stanley Kubrick’s Barry Lyndon. Following the completion of his work with Kubrick, Mollo was invited to quite a different British production: George Lucas’ then untitled third feature film.

In 1983 he won a second Oscar for Ghandi (shared with Bhanu Athaiya.
