This new uniform and especially Hux's overcoat in the SDCC stills have a real early 20th century European vibe. It's an interesting look that I don't think we've really seen before.

 It is very John Mollo, though.

 

YES.  He's kind of my unsung hero of the OT; McQuarrie has finally gotten all the love he's deserved over the years, but Mollo's work is still overlooked.  Even on Rebels they're going with Rodis-Jamero's far inferior (IMO) designs for the nascent Alliance uniforms.

Certainly more so than their awful Jakku costumes. They really need to go back and study SW for their civilian costume designs. That's one area where the EU always got it right. Killian Plunkett knows what's up.

 

Yeah, the Jakku stuff just looks like extras from any generic '80s post-apocalyptic movie you'd care to name; Mad Max, Yor, Spacehunter, Alien from L.A., etc.  Just kind of uninspired.
