Some Good News Coming Out of the ‘Star Wars’ Universe
Houston Chronicle
The 73-year-old actor's trademark Han Solo jacket from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" sold in a recent auction for $191,000 — which he's giving to the New York University Langone Medical Center and the Find a Cure for Epilepsy and Seizures (FACES) foundation to benefit the cause.
Lucasfilm The FACES foundation couldn't have raised the $191G Solo.

"I've been very impressed with the work NYU and the FACES team have done in the field of epilepsy research, and I hope this jacket will provide some means to further that exploration," Ford said in a statement at the time.
"This is a cause that's near and dear to me, and unlike the cynical Han Solo, I've got a good feeling about this."
"Star Wars" fans came out in full Force in hopes of acquiring the iconic jacket, which Ford also signed, as more than 50 people joined the bidding before the auction closed on April 11, according to Entertainment Weekly.
Last month, Ford told the Daily News' Confidenti@l column that NYU's Dr. Orrin Devinsky was the one who correctly diagnosed his daughter with epilepsy after several other doctors failed to determine why she suffered multiple seizures in her youth.
