In the US, Darth Vader's lightsaber sold for an insane amount of money
The prop became the most expensive collectible item associated with the “Star Wars” saga.
In the US, Darth Vader's lightsaber was sold for a record $4.875 million. This was reported by the press service of the Dallas-based auction house Heritage Auctions.
The prop became the most expensive collectible item associated with the “Star Wars” saga.
“The lightsaber retains distinctive signs of wear. A portion of the upper shroud was cut away, likely after a break, to eliminate a potential hazard (on the set), and a crack is visible on the rear of the shroud. One of the seven grips is partially broken and missing. There are scratches and signs of wear across the entire surface,” — reads the lot's description.
The lightsaber was used during the filming of the movies “The Empire Strikes Back” (1980) and “Return of the Jedi” (1983). It was wielded both by the actor playing Darth Vader, David Prowse, and by his stunt doubles.
