| Ringmaster Costume Design Art | |
| Original costume design sketch by Bob Mackie for the Star Wars Holiday Special.
Early in the Star Wars Holiday Special story, Lumpy watches a computer-generated performance of holographic circus performers including: Ring Master, played by actor Yuichi Sugiyama, wearing a bright green costume with a long tail; Gymnast (aka The Great Zorbak) played by Stephanie Stromer, who performs on the uneven bars wearing a green costume; Jugglers (aka The Reeko Brothers), in bright orange costumes played by the Mum Brothers who perform juggling acts; and Tumblers, five acrobatic dancers wearing bright pink costumes played by a family known as the Wazzan Troupe. All of these costumes for the holographic performers were specially designed and created for the Star Wars Holiday Special by renowned fashion designer Bob Mackie. Bob Mackie is a legend in costume design, creating the costumes for many entertainment icons over the decades including Marilyn Monroe, Cher, Farrah Fawcett, Lucille Ball, Oprah Winfrey, Elton John, Judy Garland, Marlene Dietrich, Dolly Parton, Diana Ross, Barbra Streisand and many others. His fashions dominated television in the 70s and 80s. He's also won multiple Emmys, a Tony, and was nominated for three Oscars in costume design. |
