Darth Vader lightsaber used in Star Wars ‘I am your father’ duel up for auction | Star Wars

A lightsaber used by Darth Vader during the duel where he told Luke Skywalker “I am your father” will go on sale at Heritage Auctions next month.

The Vader saber, also used in Return of the Jedi, is expected to cost at least $1 million. This is one of more than two dozen lightsaber accessories going up for auction that span Star Wars Episodes I through IX and other films and TV shows from the universe created by George Lucas.

Others include dueling lightsabers wielded by Ewan McGregor’s Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker in Revenge of the Sith that are expected to cost at least $10,000 each.

In July, a lightsaber with Luke Skywalker’s severed hand from The Empire Strikes Back sold at auction for $3.75 million, the highest price ever for a prop used in a Star Wars film, according to the auction house.

An EE-3 carbine rifle used by Boba Fett throughout The Empire Strikes Back is estimated to fetch over $100,000.

Also included is a Yoda puppet hand used by Frank Oz in the character’s original appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels’ third personal signed draft for the original 1977 Star Wars, and a TIE Fighter pilot helmet from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.
