John Mollo, Star Wars costume designer, DEAD @ 86

Noted costume designer for Star Wars in 1977 and created the Darth Vader outfit.  He had a rich career designing the garb for many actors including Ben Kingsley in Gandi.  That earned him his second Academy Award; not surprisingly, Star Wars was his first.
