Columbia Unveils Endor-Inspired Star Wars Collection: Outdoor Gear for Rebel Fans

If you’ve ever watched Return of the Jedi and thought, “Honestly, I’d wear that Endor gear in real life,” Columbia Sportswear has just made your oddly specific dream come true. The brand has teamed up with Star Wars again — but this time, they’ve gone all-in on the forest moon aesthetic.

This isn’t one of those loud, logo-plastered collabs that screams I bought this on May the 4th. No, Columbia’s Endor Collection is what happens when a real outdoor gear company sits down and asks:
What if Rebel soldiers actually needed functional clothing?

Spoiler: they’d look pretty cool.

A Functional, Forest-Ready Tribute to Endor

Columbia isn’t new to Star Wars crossovers, but the Endor lineup might be their most ambitious drop yet. Instead of simply recreating movie costumes, the designers translated the Endor vibe into real outdoor wear — the kind you can actually hike in without looking like you escaped a fan convention.

Expect muted greens, earthy tones, tactical shapes, and those subtle rebel-coded design cues fans notice instantly. It strikes that rare balance between “I appreciate Star Wars movies” and “I also touch grass sometimes.”

And the best part? Columbia applies actual outdoor tech to all of this. Waterproof fabrics, heat-retaining linings, and boots made for more than decorative cosplay. You could genuinely trek through a Danish forest, Rocky Mountain trail, or your local grocery store parking lot and feel like you’re on a mission.

Billie Lourd Joins the Mission

In a move that hits surprisingly close to home, Columbia brought in Billie Lourd — yes, Carrie Fisher’s daughter — to help showcase the collection.

It’s clever, heartfelt, and just the right amount of meta. Leia helped lead the mission on Endor, and now her daughter is introducing the outfits inspired by that same adventure. That’s the kind of subtle emotional touch fans love from Star Wars books or comics — little threads that tie eras together without shouting about it.

Highlights From the Collection (AKA the “Take My Credits” Section)

The full lineup is pretty large, but a few standout pieces are already making fans reach for their wallets:

Endor-Reversible Jacket

A technical jacket that flips from “Rebel soldier chic” to “undercover scout trooper whisperer.” Great insulation, great design, and the kind of thing you’ll pretend you bought for practicality even though you secretly just want to look like Han on a nature walk.

Ewok-Inspired Fleece

Yes, it’s cute. Yes, it’s cozy. No, you won’t look like a full Ewok — unless that’s your goal, in which case I respect you deeply.

Weatherproof Ponchos & Tactical Vests

Useful for hiking, biking, or standing in line at Star Wars Celebration while pretending you’re part of some guerrilla Rebel unit.

Battle-Ready Boots

Forest-ready soles. All-day cushioning. Slight “If a speeder bike goes by, I could handle it” energy.

It’s wearable, practical, and still undeniably Star Wars — which is a pretty rare combo.

Why This Collaboration Works (And Isn’t Just Fan Service)

This isn’t a lazy licensing deal. Columbia didn’t just slap logos on existing gear and call it a day.
Instead, they asked:

What makes Endor iconic?
How do we bring that into real outdoor gear?
How subtle can we be while still making fans smile?

The end result looks like equipment that might actually be issued by the Rebel Alliance — but also something your non-nerd friend could compliment without realizing they just praised Star Wars fashion. It’s the same kind of careful world-building that makes Star Wars video games or novels feel grounded: familiar, but expanded.

And yes, someone will absolutely wear these pieces while competing in an esports tournament and win on pure style points alone.

When Can You Buy It?

The Endor Collection rolls out on December 11, and if past Columbia × Star Wars launches are any indication, expect the good stuff to sell out first. People love practical merch — especially when it makes them look like they’re ready to sprint through a forest with a squad of Ewoks.

Final Thoughts: The Force Is Strong With This One

In a sea of brand collaborations that feel like afterthoughts, Columbia’s Endor Collection stands out by being useful, clever, and actually fashionable. Whether you’re a casual fan or the type who catalogues every blaster model from the original trilogy, this drop hits the sweet spot.

It’s the rare merch release that lets you rep Star Wars without shouting it — unless you’re wearing the Ewok fleece. That one definitely shouts.
