1. Han Solo’s Hoth winter jacket
Look at this majestic and glorious behemoth. To quote Dodgeball, it’s “feathered and lethal.” This jacket is both stylish and practical. It’s nearly as warm as the inside of a Taun-Taun. And it moves so well with Han, whether he’s gesturing indignantly or saving his best friend. This is the best jacket in Star Wars.
2. Cassian Andor’s puffy jacket
You might think it’s strange to lead off with two puffy coats, but they are both magnificent and deserve all the hype and recognition in the world. This is my favorite of Cassian’s jackets. The details on the sleeves, the bright blue color, and the puffy hood all complement each other and are wonderful for framing Diego Luna’s face. This is also a very good jacket.
3. Finn/Poe’s brown jacket
4. Han Solo’s blue Empire Strikes Back jacket
Empire Strikes Back is Peak Han Solo, in fashion, swagger, and sexiness. Exhibit A? This fine, fine navy jacket. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
5. Han Solo’s furry coat from Solo
I think I gasped the first time I saw this jacket, that’s how good it is. I just want to run my fingers through it. It also looks so warm. This jacket is full of personality, heat, and swag. I’m so into it.
6. Luke’s yellow A New Hope jacket
7. Leia’s Hoth vest/jacket combo
8. Cassian’s brown jacket
9. Poe’s The Last Jedi jacket
Poe’s jacket from The Last Jedi is evocative of Han’s from Empire. It’s perfect for committing mutiny and war crimes, and then still becoming a Resistance hero. Oscar Isaac looks good in this color, and should wear this jacket again in Episode 9.
10. Rey’s vest at the end of The Force Awakens and the Ahch-To scenes in The Last Jedi
Rey’s vest rules. I love the texture and the strong shoulders, the length is really cute, and the homage to Han is touching. The vest also shows off her personality: protective, bold, and practical.
11. Han’s A New Hope vest
One of the most iconic looks in Star Wars deserves a mention here, and it’s not low on this list for any reason besides its ubiquity and sort of basic-ness.
12. Star Wars Rebels’Â Ezra’s vest
Ezra’s vest is pretty cool, especially because it almost looks like a short sleeved jacket! What sorcery is this?
13. Han Solo’s brown vest from SoloÂ
Solo showed us Han Solo has always had good taste in outerwear, starting with this brown jacket. Making the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs never looked so stylish!
14. Han’s new jacket from The Force AwakensÂ
15. Kaz’s jacket from Star Wars Resistance
I love green, and I love how bright and fun this jacket it. You can save the galaxy AND look stylish while expressing yourself. I’m a big fan of Kaz’s jacket (and hair, to be honest).
