If you’re a Star Wars fanatic and have oodles of money to spare, do head to Los Angeles for The Profile Hollywood Auction 98, because they’re offering a chance to possess the original Luke Skywalker lightsaber from the first two movies. Plus, also on offer are an actual R2 D2 unit and some original concept art from Tom Jung that was used for George Lucas’ original trilogy. To be held from June 26-28, the auction will also feature Bill Paxton’s armor from Aliens, Charlie Bucket’s screen-used Golden Ticket from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, and Leonardo DiCaprio’s main, screen used-outfit from Titanic amongst other items. For the Star Wars lightsaber, the estimates range between $150,000 and $250,000, based on the price fetched the last time by a Luke lightsaber—for $240,000. This lightsaber up for grabs now comes with a personalized letter of authenticity from producer Gary Kurtz, who produced the first two films and has the saber in his possession since several decades.
