Star Wars Props Up For Auction

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the stuff-you-want dept.

innocence18 writes "Auctioneers Profiles in History are set to auction off a number of Star Wars props from the original trilogy movies. Fromthe collection of Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz, the pieces on offer include Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader's lightsabers as well as various costumes and masks." While I can't imagine wanting to wear Luke's X-Wing flight suit, I think that light saber is pretty sweet. Although I bet it goes for the price of a new car.

    Will it come with a guy that will make sound effects out the side of his mouth when you wave it around? Cause that's the part that I always get tired of making when I play with lightsabers.

      Yeah, but once you got it, you'd have to re-arrange the furnature in your house to make it look like Jabba's palace. Then put on a few hundred pounds and hire Carrie Fisher to sit around in that damn bikini.

      As cool a piece as it is, you are going to kill your self accessorizing for it.

      I hear 1.2 was a little premature, and would often give you an Illegal Operation. I think 2.2 was the recommended version.

      Depends on which system you are in. Sol. yes, the 1.2 version is illegal. However, version 1.2 corresponds to version 2.4 in the Tattooine system. What with it's duel suns and all.
