Heritage Auctions announces November 'Ultimate Star Wars Auction' featuring screen-used props
Darth Vader's Screen-Matched Hero Dueling Lightsaber from Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1983).



DALLAS, TX.- Heritage Auctions announced the November 12 Ultimate Star Wars Auction, spanning Episodes I through IX and recent hit TV series and films.

The auction brings together screen-used props, life-size character figures, a complete ultra-high-grade 330-card set of the 1977 Topps Star Wars series, vintage Kenner action figures, original concept artwork, cast-signed movie posters and much more. Leading the offering is the most expansive collection of Star Wars lightsabers ever assembled for public auction, with examples wielded by many of the saga’s most celebrated Jedi and Sith.

Among the premier highlights is Darth Vader’s screen-matched hero dueling lightsaber, used in both The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). Its offering follows Heritage’s record-breaking $3.75 million sale on July 15 of Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber and severed hand effects rig from the unforgettable Cloud City confrontation. Vader’s lightsaber, a remarkable counterpart from the duel that changed the course of the saga, carries a pre-auction estimate of $1,000,000+.

Another centerpiece is Boba Fett’s screen-matched hero EE-3 carbine blaster, used throughout The Empire Strikes Back. Instantly recognizable, the weapon helped define the formidable presence of one of the saga’s most enigmatic and enduringly popular characters. It carries a pre-auction estimate of $100,000+.

Bladed dueling lightsabers wielded by Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith (2005) each carry pre-auction estimates of $10,000+. Together, these artifacts offer collectors an extraordinary opportunity to own the weapons that brought some of the franchise’s most memorable confrontations to life.

Additional highlights include:

• Anthony Daniels’ signed personal third-draft screenplay for the original Star Wars ($20,000+)

• Remote-controlled R2-S8 Astromech Droid from Solo: A Star Wars Story ($15,000+)

• Carrie Fisher’s personal screen-used Snowspeeder filming miniature from The Empire Strikes Back ($10,000+)

• Frank Oz “Yoda” puppet hand from The Empire Strikes Back ($3,000+)

• TIE Fighter pilot helmet from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story ($8,000+)

• Nine-piece Disney Star Tours C-3PO walkabout costume ($15,000+)
