Insane Star Wars Auction Results
Tip It!Sometimes I just don’t get it… The lightsaber used by Mark Hamill in the original Star Wars has reportedly sold at auction for just over $200k and the saber used by Darth Vader fetched $118k. Other items of note: Luke’s X-Wing flight suit ($70k), the original stormtrooper laser blaster ($56k), a Chewbacca face mask ($50k), and Yoda’s cane ($50k). Some people just have way too much money.

I’ve got an mint-condition, unopened Star Wars kite from 1977. I got it by sending in a few cereal box tops. The kite wasn’t a prop in the movie, of course, but looking at the auction prices above, maybe I should consider the kite as part of my retirement portfolio. ;->
