Own the Dark Side: Discover Why Darth Vader’s $3 Million Lightsaber Is the Ultimate Collector’s Dream
In 2022, Propstore sold a 22-inch miniature X-wing fighter model. It was created by George Lucas for the original film — and it sold for more than $2.3 million. That’s partly why this lightsaber is expected to bring in as much as $3 million.
Before the auction in September, the prop will go on a press tour to London, New York, and Beverly Hills. It will be joined by other iconic pieces of film memorabilia, including Indiana Jones’ bullwhip and belt from Indiana Jones the Last Crusade, a neuralyzer from Men in Black, and Sauron’s helmet from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring.
Those props are also going up for auction in September. They’re estimated to bring in between $250,000 and $500,000 each. However, Darth Vader’s lightsaber is sure to be the centerpiece of the silver screen sale.
