Star Wars Props Up For Auction 290
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.
Looking forward to the next auction. (Score:4, Insightful)
This is cool and all, but what I'm really interested in is the auction for the props for episodes I through III...I'm curious as to how much Jake Lloyd will sell for. ^_^

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

Do not underestimate the power of the geek side. I suspect it'll go for considerably more money. And I wish I had the kind of money so I could. Or was that my insanity? Nah, geekiness, must be it.

Conveniently, I'm not taking into account how much more unnecesary commodities you're using in real life.

Given her recent weight gains, Carrie Fisher in a bikini is more likely to look like Jabba the Hutt himself than Princess Leia.

As for the rest (masks, guns, cars), they look much less impressive in person. I guess the art of prop making involves understanding the loss of fidelity that occurs when filming/photographing. The huge difference in detail between the close-up props versus the ones designed to be in the background was amazing.

1) these items are authentic and the identical ones I've seen in various Planet Hollywoods are fakes.
2) these items are fakes and the ones in Planet Hollywoods are fakes.
3) they are all fakes.
4) they are all probably genuine but all involved are conveniently leaving out the fact that there are several (sometimes dozens) of copies of props, costumes and other items produced for a production.
