“Warmer than a tauntaun.”

That’s the promise behind the Star Wars Echo Base Collection, Columbia’s new line of officially licensed winter gear inspired by the best (and most stylish) film in the series — The Empire Strikes Back.

Available Friday in stores and online: the Luke Skywalker Echo Base Jacket, the we-would-totally-buy-that Han Solo Echo Base Parka and Leia Organa Echo Base Jacket. Each item is water resistant and features Omni-Heat Reflective insulation, which keeps in body heat while staying breathable.

Expect the outerwear to go for $400 apiece, with a limit of five per customer.
