Fancy Luke Skywalker’s Yavin Medal?
April 26th, 2011
Star Wars movie buffs will recognize this jacket without need for any introduction or background info.
I personally only saw the Revenge of the Sith, the third episode in the Star Wars series, so seeing this fine-looking jacket motivated me to dig a little deeper into the scene where the Yavin medal made its appearance.
In case you didn’t know, the Yavin medal is a Medal of Bravery bestowed only on the cream of the crop by the Alliance to Restore the Republic.
The Yavin medal was presented to Han Solo and Luke Skywalker at the end of Episode IV after destroying the Death Star. Now you too, can walk around proudly with in a spankin’ new jacket with your very own Medal of Bravery hanging on your neck for a not-so-meager sum of $120.10 (USD). It’s originally priced at $275 on Amazon, which just goes to show that even bravery has its discounts.
In case you don’t remember what it should look like, here’s the original scene from a 1977 clip of Star Wars: Episode IV:

Still doesn’t make up for chewie not getting a medal… racist against wookies these rebels are
HANS Solo??? O.o
Rly?…
why give a star wars piece to a person who only has seen the WORST star wars movie?
and HANS Solo?
Hazel, you fail one million internets…
Aww, I thought Revenge of the Sith wasn’t that bad. :)
I take full responsibility for “Hans” solo, and I’ve seen all 6 of the movies multiple times (although Episodes I and VI should have never been made, IMHO).
I’m the Editor, and just missed this silly typo. Fixed.
Empire Strikes Back should not have been made? Oh, man, what’s going on here?
I didn’t say Episode V…
Episode I = The Phantom Menace
Episode VI = Return of the Jedi
Roman numerals 101. :)
Oh man, embarrassed. I blame lack of sleep! I’ve been up since 10 am Tuesday…
