A lightsaber used by Darth Vader in the original Star Wars films – A New Hope (1977); The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983) - has sold for a record-shattering $3.6million (approx. €3m).
The winning bid for the iconic red lightsaber ($2.9m plus a $700,000 buyers premium paid to the auction house) at the Propstore auction in Los Angeles (which finishes tomorrow) makes this item the highest-valued product ever put on sale from the hit movie franchise.
