This document summarizes an upcoming exhibition and book about the costumes from the Star Wars films. It discusses how the costumes in the original trilogy were more simplistic but how George Lucas brought richer designs to the prequel trilogy to reflect the diverse cultures and histories of the Star Wars universe. The exhibition will showcase costumes like Padme Amidala's elaborate outfits and Princess Leia's iconic slave bikini costume and run from September to December at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising museum in Los Angeles.
