Her Universe to launch new female-focused collection at Star Wars Celebration Chicago
By Meg Dowell
Star Wars Celebration Chicago attendees will get first dibs on items from the newest Her Universe collection. SISTERS OF THE FORCE will feature apparel representing Leia, Rey, Padmé, and more fangirl favorites.
For nearly nine years now, Her Universe has offered fandom-inspired apparel and accessories to girls (and guys!) who want to represent the fictional universes they love while they navigate the real world.
Ashley Eckstein — the voice of Ahsoka Tano and the mastermind behind Her Universe — has created a brand-new Star Wars collection everyone, but especially the ladies in our fandom, will adore.

SISTERS OF THE FORCE isn’t available on the site yet. But it will be very soon. And it’s perfect for anyone whose life may have been changed by a general, senator, Mandalorian … you get the idea.
Apparel includes T-shirts, hoodies, jackets, and dresses representing our favorite ladies in a galaxy far, far away. There’s a Hera Syndulla jacket, a Padmé dress (and a matching hoodie, if you’re just chillin’), and an Ahsoka sweatshirt.
You can even wear Leia’s cape coat, because even though not all heroes wear capes, some pull them off flawlessly — and you deserve to be one of them.
And if all that isn’t enough to get you excited for this collection — which will debut at SWCC and become available on HerUniverse.com starting on April 11 — here’s one more very important selling point: The dresses have pockets!
“Whether it’s the characters, whether it’s the fans, whether it’s the women who work on Star Wars, there are all of these strong women who bring Star Wars to life,” Eckstein told StarWars.com. “I wanted to shine the spotlight on the women of Star Wars with this collection.”
While you’re celebrating all the other Star Wars things next weekend, don’t forget to take a moment to appreciate all the women who have helped make our fandom truly shine.
