One of the most highly-prized items of movie memorabilia is the lightsaber held by Luke Skywalker in the original trilogy. If you’re fortunate enough to have the money to bid for it, an original lightsaber from A New Hope is available at auction in December in LA.
Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber will lead a selection of rare Star Wars memorabilia heading for the auction block at Profiles in History next month.
The iconic prop was used by Mark Hamill in the original 1977 film, and is regarded as one of the most famous weapons in movie history.
It is now expected to sell for $150,000 – $200,000 when it goes up for sale as part of a major three-day auction in Los Angeles on December 11-13.
Last year Profiles in History sold another lightsaber used on-screen by Hamill in both Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back for a record $450,000.
