The spaceflight suits have badges, suggesting the individuals may be part of a space agency or team. To the right, there is a person wearing a pair of golden visor glasses.

Columbia Sportswear, in collaboration with Lucasfilm, has just unveiled its special-edition SkyWalker Pilot Collection, a special-edition collection inspired by Luke Skywalker’s iconic flight suit from the Star Wars™ saga. This is Columbia’s largest Star Wars collection to date and incorporates fan-favorite details of the iconic orange flight suit while merging the utility, tech, and styling needed to take on the Empire (and the elements).

As part of the reveal, Columbia ambassador Bubba Wallace will be shifting into hyperdrive on the racetrack, while wearing a helmet and fire suit with intricate elements inspired by the Star Wars galaxy at the NASCAR Cup Series Championship at the Phoenix International Raceway. Bubba’s car, No. 23 car will feature a custom design inspired by Skywalker’s Red Five X-wing Starfighter. Mark Hamill himself made a cameo appearance to tease the highly anticipated collection!  

This is Columbia’s latest and largest Star Wars collection to date, and it incorporates fan-favorite details that bring Luke Skywalker’s iconic flight suit from the original series to life by merging the utility, tech and styling that a Rebel pilot would need to take on the Empire (and the elements).

The collection draws inspiration from Luke Skywalker’s original costume, vehicle schematics and classic Star Wars™ artwork by Ralph McQuarrie. The key styles within the collection also feature the gold standard in warmth—Columbia’s Omni-Heat Infinity™ thermal reflective technology—to help fans master the winter elements. Ranging in price from $50-$700 (CAD), the pieces in the Skywalker Pilot Collection include an array of performance and lifestyle gear. The eight-piece collection can be found at columbiasportswear.ca/en/starwars
