Overview

Heritage Auctions has announced the ‘Ultimate Star Wars Auction’ scheduled for November 12. The collection features various iconic props from Episodes I through IX.

The centerpiece of the auction is the Darth Vader lightsaber used during the climactic duel in ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ and also appearing in ‘Return of the Jedi.’ This item is expected to fetch at least $1 million. Other notable items include lightsabers used by Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, estimated at $10,000 each, a Boba Fett EE-3 carbine blaster, a Yoda puppet hand, and a TIE Fighter pilot helmet from ‘Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.’

The event follows a record-breaking sale in July, where a lightsaber used by Mark Hamill in a scene from ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ sold for $3.75 million.
