A jacket that Harrison Ford wore as Han Solo in the latest “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” movie has sold at auction for USD 1,91,000.

Ford, 73, decided to sign and sell off the item to help benefit two charities close to his heart, but even he couldn’t have imagined the jacket was worth so much when bidding began on online site IfOnly, reported TMZ.

The USD 1,91,000 sale price will be split between the NYU Langone Medical Center and the Faces foundation, which funds research for epilepsy.

The actor’s 25-year-old daughter, Georgia, has epilepsy and is being treated at the NYC hospital.
