Awesome photo from the official Star Wars Twitter account.
Headcanon time. Luke’s outfit was totally borrowed from Han, because Luke is just an ickle farmboy with nothing but the clothes on his back and a lightsaber, and well, he doesn’t really know anyone else in the Rebellion yet. Leia has important Rebellion stuff to do (not to mention finally allow herself the time to grieve the loss of her planet and every member of her family), and it doesn’t even cross her mind that Luke might need something to wear. And well, Luke thinks about wearing his farm clothes, but he’s super embarrassed about them, because they’re not exactly the height of fashion even on Tatooine and he has to stand up in front of the Princess and Rebel leaders and everyone and doesn’t want to look like the backrocket schlub he thinks he is.
So he sucks up his courage and goes to ask Han if he can borrow something – just for the medal ceremony – and Han is all, “nah, kid, you can keep these” and gives him the bloodstripes while explaining what they are. Well Luke is very humbled and says he can’t possibly wear them if he hasn’t earned them, but Han shuts him down since what he did qualifies as valor in anyone’s universe, and those are Han’s bloodstripes, so he’s entitled to give them to anyone he wants. And then he gives him the blaster and holster and is all “you may as well keep these too, kid – you’ll need them.”
So that is the story of why Luke is wearing second-class Corellian bloodstripes.

i don’t know why, but this just improved my day about 1000%
Headcanon that when Han and Leia are reunited after the destruction of Jabba’s barge Han takes one look at her and his eyes get big and he goes, “Oh my God, are you all right?” and she nods and sort of smiles and leans into him and he immediately takes off his shirt and gives it to her because he doesn’t want her to feel exposed without her consent.
YES. I hate the bro idea that Han would be all about saving the slave outfit for later sexy times. He worked for Jabba; he knows how horrible Jabba was, especially to women. I really do think his first concern would be that Leia was okay and that nothing happened to her. And he respects Leia; he would be furious that Jabba objectified her and enslaved her, not turned on by it.
Can someone please draw Leia wearing Han’s big white shirt while Han swaggers around in just his vest?
Slight logistical problem: Han’s vision was still returning. He had recovered his ability to see light and darkness, but he couldn’t make out shapes yet. So he probably wouldn’t have realized what she was wearing until she hugged him.
She still ends up with the shirt, though.

Seriously though, this scene. WHY DID THEY DELETE THIS SCENE?
