You can now wear your love for Star Wars on your sleeve with two new jackets from Think Geek.
First up is the Skywalker Rebel Leader Jacket, that is a replica of the jacket Luke Skywalker wore on Bespin in The Empire Strikes Back.
100% cotton, it features a storm flap that closes over the full-length zipper. It also has an interchangeable badge system and comes with 2 rubber badges to start you off: an Alliance Starbird and an X-Wing from above. The inside lining features a painting of Luke, a print of an X-Wing schematic, and a unique serialized number on a little metal tag near the interior pocket.
Sizes range from small to extra-large (but not larger), and will set you back $219.99.
If the dark side is more your style, the Imperial TIE Pilot Leather Jacket has you covered – or at least your torso covered…
The leather outer has angles and suede inserts, reminiscent of the lines of a TIE Fighter. It also has an interchangeable badge system and comes with 2 rubber badges to start you off: a TIE Fighter with a red viewport shaped like the symbol for the Galactic Empire and a large Galactic Empire symbol. The inside lining features a painting of a dogfight, a print of a TIE Fighter schematic, and a unique serialized number on a little metal tag near the interior pocket.
The leather jacket also comes in sizes S – 2XL, but because it is leather, the price tag gets bumped to $499.99.
The jackets look really cool, but I’m split – do I want to join the Empire or the Rebellion? Which one would you choose, and why?

Join the Empire. We’re actually the good guys, you know, because the Rebels are technically terrorists. We just have a few bad seeds harassing innocents and blowing up planets making the rest of us look bad.
It is a hard choice, though. Both jackets look fantastic.
