A screen-used Darth Vader lightsaber from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi will be auctioned, with expectations of fetching up to $3 million. This iconic prop was created from a modified British camera flash handle featuring unique elements like plastic grips and exposed wires. It served as a 'hero' dueling prop, used in significant battle scenes, and shows screen-matched damage from specific films. This saber is the only verified dueling prop from the original trilogy available for auction, enhancing its value among collectors.
Crafted from a modified vintage British press camera flash handle, the saber features plastic grips, exposed wires, and even a circuit board with calculator-style magnifying bubbles.
It’s the only verified dueling saber from the original trilogy to ever hit the auction block, making it as mythical among collectors as the character who used it.
