Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber Is Up For Auction

As kids, there was no movie prop we wanted more than the lightsaber Luke Skywalker wielded in Return of the Jedi. As a matter of fact, we can’t think of a movie prop we want more as an adult, unless you consider a time-traveling DeLorean a “prop.” Well, it looks like the childhood dreams and adult fantasies of one lucky bidder are about to become a reality. That’s because one of Luke’s lightsabers from the the final installment of the original Star Wars films is hitting the auction block at Bonhams. Used in the Sarlacc Pit scene in Return of the Jedi, this particular lightsaber was seen during shots of R2-D2 and is one of three used during the battle. Built from solid metal and rubber, the lightsaber will run you a minimum of $150,000.
