Talk about a weapon of mass value, Star wars Darth Vader’s lightsaber is about to hit the auction block, and this bad boy’s expected to rake in Jedi-mind-blowing cash, TMZ reports.
According to the report by TMZ, the tabloid got Brandon Alinger, COO of Prop Store, on cam and he makes it clear, this Star wars Darth Vader’s lightsaber isn’t some random hunk of plastic … it’s the screen-matched Hero Dueling Lightsaber used by Vader in “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi.”
Brandon gave his prediction of what he thinks it’ll fetch, and the number is high, especially since the absentee bid is already over a million bucks!
For context, Brandon says their biggest “Star Wars” score to date was an X-Wing Fighter model that sold for $2.3M — so, yeah, the Force (and the $$$) is strong with this one.
The 3-day auction runs September 4 through 6 … and it’s basically nerd heaven. Other goodies up for sale include Tobey Maguire’s “Spider-Man 2” costume, Michael Keaton’s “Batman” ’89 Batsuit & more.
Bottom line … you might not get a galaxy far, far away with your winning bid, but you will walk away with a serious flex piece!
