The original lightsaber used by Luke Skywalker in the Star Wars franchise has sold at auction for $3.75 million.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the lightsaber is the original prop used by Skywalker during his duel with Darth Vader in the 1980 film Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back.
The sale set a new record for a piece of Star Wars memorabilia used in the films. The lightsaber had been valued at $1 million, with experts expecting it to sell for no more than $2 million.
The previous record was held by the original model of the X-wing starfighter used in the space battle sequence of the first Star Wars film in 1977. It sold for $3.135 million in October 2023.
