The costumes of Star Wars are perhaps one of the secret ingredients to its long-term success. And back in 1983, when Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, and Princess Leia hit up the forest moon of Endor in Return of the Jedi, they got some of their best outfits in the entire classic trilogy. Now, fans can actually own some of these clothes, thanks to a brand-new, limited edition line from Columbia, called “The Endor Collection.”
And to promote The Endor Collection, Billie Lourd, daughter of the late Carrie Fisher, has donned her mother’s classic Rebel Alliance poncho. As Columbia announced the new clothing line, they also dropped a new reel on Instagram, featuring Lourd channelling her mother’s Princess Leia energy.
“I’m wearing this legendary poncho…it is really special to be here, like this incredible gift from my mom,” Lourd said in the new ad. For the photoshoot, Lourd recreated scenes in which Princess Leia (Fisher) first met the Ewok, Wicket (Warwick Davis). And in these moments, it’s hard to believe she’s not a direct clone of her mother.
Lourd, of course, acted alongside her mother in all three Star Wars sequel films. Starting in The Force Awakens, Lourd played a Resistance officer named Lt. Connix. Lourd’s last big movie was alongside Pamela Anderson in The Last Showgirl.

The collobrations between Columbia and Star Wars tend to sell out quickly, so here’s a look at what they’re offering in this collection. The biggest news, for men, is probably the big General Han Solo Trench, which is a very close, but functional, reproduction of Han’s slick duster coat in Return of the Jedi. The poncho modeled by Billie Lourd is also pretty great, as are the rest of the items.
Make no mistake, these things are cosplay creations, but rather, nice, functional jackets, coats, and boots, with a bit of flair from a galaxy, far, far away. Here’s a breakdown of what’s in the collection, directly from the official descriptions from Columbia.
