Iconic Hollywood memorabilia, including Darth Vader's lightsaber and Indiana Jones' whip, are up for auction at Propstore. These rare items are expected to fetch millions, with the lightsaber alone estimated between $1-3 million. The auction also features other notable props like the 'Men in Black' neuralyzer.
Bid for Darth Vader's Lightsaber and Indiana Jones' Whip at Auction
Bid for Darth Vader's Lightsaber
Eager to own Darth Vader's lightsaber? Or perhaps the whip used by Harrison Ford in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade"? Both are now up for auction, but expect to shell out millions to win these bids.
Earlier this summer, Swedish media reported that Darth Vader's lightsaber would be auctioned by American Propstore as part of a Hollywood memorabilia auction. Starting today, the auction includes over a thousand different items from film and TV.
You can bid online – but it comes at a cost.
Darth Vader's lightsaber is said to be one of the few authentic lightsabers from the original Star Wars trilogy, seen in the hands of the old Sith Lord in the 80s films "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi." Propstore believes the lightsaber will sell for between $1-3 million, or between 10-30 million Swedish kronor.
But the price could certainly go higher.
– This is the weapon used by the most notorious, recognizable, and unforgettable villain on the silver screen, says Brandon Allinger from Propstore, who owns several lightsabers, but this is the first time Vader's is up for auction.
Props from Indiana Jones and "Men in Black"
The auction also includes additional George Lucas-related props, such as the whip used by Harrison Ford in "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade," complete with belt and holster. The whip is expected to fetch as much as 5 million kronor.
The "neuralyzer" used in "Men in Black" with Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith is valued slightly lower – you might get it for under a million.
