Darth Vader's Lightsaber Could Be Yours -If You Are a Millionaire

Propstore is gearing up for their Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction coming in September. The item that's been headlining the sale so far is the whip, belt, and whip holster that Indiana Jones wore in the 1989 movie Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The set comes with call sheets from a day of movie filming as well. Want it? It's estimated to sell for somewhere between $250,000 and half a million. If you are more of The Lord of the Rings type, you might want to bid on Sauron’s helmet from The Fellowship of the Ring. But neither of those are the biggest item in the auction. 

That would be the lightsaber hilt used by David Prowse and his stunt double Bob Anderson in the Star Wars movies The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. It's the prop Darth Vader used to battle Luke Skywalker. Yes, the one that cut Luke's hand off. The lightsaber hilt was fashioned from "a vintage British press camera flash handle" that was highly modified for looks. In use on set, it was fitted with a long wooden rod that was later fleshed out by the special effects team. It will cost you. The estimated selling price for the lightsaber is one to three million. Read about the prop and see pictures at Gizmodo.
