Luke Skywalker’s Light Saber Is For Sale!

Got a million bucks lying around? You could soon own one of the most iconic props in movie history.

Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber, along with the severed hand it came with in The Empire Strikes Back, is heading to auction for the very first time, with bidding set to start at $1 million.

The blockbuster memorabilia doesn’t stop there. Also hitting the auction block are hats from The Wizard of Oz and Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, hoverboards from Back to the Future Part II, rugs from The Big Lebowski, and Rocky Balboa’s boxing boots from Rocky III.

Music fans can bid on a piece of Beatles history as well. John Lennon’s handwritten lyrics for “If I Fell,” penned on the back of a Valentine’s card in New York ahead of the band’s first appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1964, will open at $500,000.

“This auction represents the full spectrum of entertainment history, from Hollywood’s Golden Age to modern blockbuster cinema and the most influential moments in popular music,” said Heritage Auctions Executive Vice President Joe Maddalena.
