The prop gun that Luke has holstered at his leg during the rebel ceremony scene is the exact same gun Leia used in the scene where she is captured by the stormtroopers at the start of the film.

I could tell luke's jacket was the same as walrus man's but being an off the rack ski jacket is an interesting piece of trivia. Wasn't the original prop on ebay a few years back for $200,000. OT.com resident prop expert might be able to tell us more on that
See the below pic in regards to Luke/Leia's gun
On a side note looking through my pictures looking for the above picture I was wondering if anymore promo pictures of Luke in that costume exist (ceremonial costume sans jacket) besides this one:
edit: the reason I ask is it's my favourite costume, thanks.
