The model weapon, which was used in the original film series, is expected to fetch around US$200,000
Luke Skywalker’s lightsabre from the first Star Wars film – one of the most iconic film weapons – is going up for auction in Los Angeles next week and could fetch up to US$200,000.
Auctioneers Profiles in History said on Monday it also is selling some 25 other Star Wars items, including an original black TIE-fighter pilot helmet from the first, 1977 film that could fetch even more money – up to US$300,000.
Star Wars films have made billions of dollars at the box office worldwide and props and costumes from the sci-fi saga can fetch sky-high prices at auction.
