Oh man! What I wouldn’t give to have roughly $140,000 on me right now! Apparently at the end of July there is going to be an auction for the ORIGINAL lightsabers used by Luke and Darth Vader which is expected to fetch around (as you’ve probably already guessed) about $140,000!
Also up for auction is the original orange pilot jumpsuit worn by Luke in the first Star Wars, Yoda’s mask and other goodies. You know, I really don’t mind not being rich… life is about a lot more than money. But on days like this I wish I was freaking loaded! The good folks over at M&C also added in this little disclaimer as a public service announcement:
But buyer beware. The sabres do not light up as they did on screen – their glowing appearance was all down to special effects.
Don’t laugh. I’ll bet there are a bunch of rocket scientists out there who probably thought they did light up.
