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.

    If by new car, you mean a fully equiped Rolls-Royce, you're right.

      And if by "fully equipped," you mean a Rolls-Royce with titanium plating, guided missle launchers, flight capabilities, and a Mr. Fusion, then yeah, you're right.

    I gotta get my hands on Han Solo in the Carbonite. Simply the best prop in all the films.

    The light saber that Ben Kenobi gave Luke in Episode IV was nothing more than a flash handle from a 1930's era Graflex camera. See:
