From showrunners Ryan Condal (House of the Dragon) and Dave Mandel (Veep), this is The Stuff Dreams Are Made Of, and a deep dive into the Darth Vader hero lightsaber, which heads to the Propstore Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction: Los Angeles Summer 2025 starting tomorrow. In part one, Ryan and Dave delve into the history of the lightsaber with Propstore’s Brandon Alinger.
It’s not as clumsy or as random as a blaster. It’s an elegant weapon for a more civilized — yadda yadda. The iconic weapon of the Jedi Knight is certainly in the zeitgeist these days. In September, Darth Vader’s screen-matched hero fighting lightsaber will go under hammer at Propstore Auctions, a first for any screen-used piece in this very special category. To herald its coming, David and Ryan are joined by the person who probably knows more about the lightsabers of the original trilogy than anyone, Lucasfilm expert and COO of Propstore Los Angeles, Brandon Alinger. In Part 1 of this long and chunky deep-dive Brandon takes the guys through all the lightsabers of Star Wars: A New Hope. Come into our dark cave of knowledge. Your weapons — you will not need them.
