    Default Luke's Yavin uniform.

    Although it's shown for pretty much just a few minutes in the saga, it's kind of interesting that this-the yellow jacket, black shirt seems to be Luke's default look (or variations of it) for the period between ANH and ESB.

    It seems to go back all the way to the Holiday special's cartoon, but then started to show up in both the Newspaper and Marvel comics. I'm not too sure if it was a big deal in the Dark Horse comics, but of course once Marvel got publishing the comics again, the uniform was front-and-center on issue #1:

    It's just an easy visual short hand that tells you it's after A New Hope but before Empire.

    I always really liked the look. There's a series of production photos online of Mark wearing the costume sans gold jacket (Black shirt, brown corellian striped pants) wielding his lightsaber or blaster, even one alongside Carrie Fisher in her classic hair buns white gown look. Pretty fun to browse through and imagine a Star Wars film set between ANH and ESB.

    It's the opposite of Han's outfit, white shirt with a black vest. That would make them easier to tell apart in the comics.
    Sounds perfect.

    It occurred to me that the Luke's Yellow Jacket/Black Shirt combo and his Tattooine Desert Gi both make the character stand out from a distance when looking at the character on a Black & White page like the newspaper strip.

    That's probably why that getup is mostly a thing in the comics.
