Star Wars Props Up For Auction

innocence18 writes "Auctioneers Profiles in History are set to auction off a number of Star Wars props from the original trilogy movies. Fromthe collection of Star Wars producer Gary Kurtz, the pieces on offer include Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader's lightsabers as well as various costumes and masks." While I can't imagine wanting to wear Luke's X-Wing flight suit, I think that light saber is pretty sweet. Although I bet it goes for the price of a new car.

A Lightsaber

[TrippTDF]

Will it come with a guy that will make sound effects out the side of his mouth when you wave it around? Cause that's the part that I always get tired of making when I play with lightsabers.

for example

the stiff, lifeless George Lucas himself...

Sounds like you've lost the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps. But that's probably not all you've lost,. . . :-)

Re:Looking forward to the next auction.

[CountDoodu]

I wonder how much Padame's underwear will auction for

Dibs!

[Adrilla]

I gotta get my hands on Han Solo in the Carbonite. Simply the best prop in all the films.

Yah but

[Arthur B.]

Does it include the gun Han Solo used to shoot first ?

real jedis...

[Ubergrendle]

make their own lightsabers -- they don't buy someone else's.

No chance

[Will Stewart]

Forget it, guys. Getting this gear will not make you a chick magnet.

Re:Looking forward to the next auction.

[Adrilla]

With or without the grits? They're extra.

In Korea

[WormholeFiend]

they use Star Wars props creatively [yahoo.com]

Re:New Car?

[jcenters]

If by new car, you mean a fully equiped Rolls-Royce, you're right.

And if by "fully equipped," you mean a Rolls-Royce with titanium plating, guided missle launchers, flight capabilities, and a Mr. Fusion, then yeah, you're right.

Re:Dibs!

[TrippTDF]

Yeah, but once you got it, you'd have to re-arrange the furnature in your house to make it look like Jabba's palace. Then put on a few hundred pounds and hire Carrie Fisher to sit around in that damn bikini.

As cool a piece as it is, you are going to kill your self accessorizing for it.

Also up for sale ...

[Anonymous Coward]

... George Lucas's integrity.

Odd purchase

[Capt James McCarthy]

I wonder who's going to go way out on a limb and purchase Princess Lea's gold slave outfit.

Light Sabers 4 sale

[TigerTime]

While I can't imagine wanting to wear Luke's X-Wing flight suit, I think that light saber is pretty sweet. Although I bet it goes for the price of a new car.

You highly underestimate the buying power and number of Star Wars ubergeeks out there.

Prop?

[SEG7]

Can Natalie Portman be categorized as a prop? Mmmmm?....

Star Wars Kid

[Hao Wu]

I want that golfball retriever....

And in other news.....

[Freaky Spook]

A team of geeks recently bought R2-D2 from an auction, it took them 16 hours to get it to run linux.

Re:Dibs!

[TrippTDF]

Yeah- it's widely known that Carrie Fisher 1.2 was had better "support" than current version 4.5

Re:Dibs!

[SkuzBuket]

And then I'd kill myself "accessorizing" Carrie Fisher.

A nice conversation piece

[bornyesterday]

God, wouldn't it be great for people to walk in your house and come face to face with a carbonite frozen Han Solo?

Woo!

[Grendel Drago]

Way to fight the stereotype [msn.com], Slashdot!

Re:Prop?

[robertjw]

Did you see the movie? She was definitely categorized as a prop.

Greedo's Blaster

[The Jon]

Is it available? Because, if I remember rightly, it should have a full clip.

Princess Leia's Gold Bikini

[caudron]

There is no price too steep.

"Hi Honey, look what I bought you today!"

Re:In Korea

[Kandenshi]

Now if there was ever a comment that required a Moderate: Frightening... 0.o

Star Wars Ep I-III props HOWTO

[Svenne]

That's it.

Re:And in other news.....

[aug24]

It already ran an early distro... later versions of Xine don't jump while playing "Help me Obi-wan, you're my only hope".

Re:New Car?

[Pollardito]

If by flight capabilities you mean fast enough to make the Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs, then yeah, you're right

Re:Dibs!

[timster]

I hear 1.2 was a little premature, and would often give you an Illegal Operation. I think 2.2 was the recommended version.

Re:Dibs!

[TrippTDF]

Depends on which system you are in. Sol. yes, the 1.2 version is illegal. However, version 1.2 corresponds to version 2.4 in the Tattooine system. What with it's duel suns and all.
