The outside of the jacket is breathable, yet very waterproof and the inside is filled with\u00a0200g insulation. They&#8217;ve also implemented their\u00a0Omni-Heat\u2122 thermal-reflective lining which basically bounces all of your body&#8217;s heat back onto itself. If only Han Solo could&#8217;ve slapped one of these on Luke Skywalker instead of sticking him inside a Taun-Taun.<\/p>\n<p>Included in the $500 price tag is a custom-built collectors box housing both the jacket and some Star Wars themed tags and a flyer. And if all this wasn&#8217;t exclusive enough, there&#8217;s going to be 30 pieces sold that were signed by Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill. These will retails for $1,980 (We&#8217;ll let you guess why that number&#8217;s significant) and will only be released at four Columbia locations:\u00a0New York, NY; Buena Vista, FL; Downtown Portland Flagship, OR; and Seattle, WA.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1507 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM.png\" alt=\"Columbia Star Wars Parka | The Empire Strikes Back Crew Jacket\" width=\"1796\" height=\"1606\" srcset=\"https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM.png 1796w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-300x268.png 300w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-768x687.png 768w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-1024x916.png 1024w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-1680x1502.png 1680w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-1240x1109.png 1240w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-1200x1073.png 1200w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-680x608.png 680w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-400x358.png 400w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-250x224.png 250w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-200x179.png 200w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-100x89.png 100w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-76x68.png 76w, https:\/\/forcenvy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Screen-Shot-2018-12-03-at-6.20.43-PM-50x45.png 50w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1796px) 100vw, 1796px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is going to be highly coveted and sought after Star Wars collectible so you&#8217;ll need to plan out your purchase ahead of time.
