Connecting to Character: A look at the Star Wars Hera Syndulla Jacket by Her Universe

Written by Daniel – In this post, I am going to be examining a jacket released by the “fangirl fashion” site Her Universe, founded by actress Ashley Eckstein. The jacket in question is inspired by Hera Syndulla and the jacket she wears as seen in the Disney+ series Ahsoka (Filoni, 2023-). This post is going to be examining Hera’s jacket and how it was adapted from onscreen to function as an item for the wardrobe. I’ll be looking in particular at how the Her Universe jacket connects the wearer with the onscreen character, permits a celebration of character, and also how the jacket connects fans to the wider source material of the Star Wars universe. The purpose of this post is not to try and sell you this jacket or give you any fashion gossip, rather I’m interested in the exploration of Star Wars, character analysis, and costume.
