Heritage Auctions will host the Ultimate Star Wars Auction on Nov. 12, and one of its headline items is a Darth Vader lightsaber that appeared in the Cloud City duel where Vader declares, “I am your father,” and later in Return of the Jedi. The house expects the saber to fetch at least $1 million US.
In July, a lightsaber that held Luke Skywalker's severed hand from *The Empire Strikes Back* sold for $3.75 million US, the highest price ever fetched for a prop used in a Star Wars film, according to the auction house.
The November sale will feature more than two dozen lightsaber props covering Episodes I through IX. Among them are the duelling sabers wielded by Ewan McGregor’s Obi‑Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen’s Anakin Skywalker in *Revenge of the Sith*, each expected to bring at least $10,000 US.
Other notable items include Boba Fett’s EE‑3 carbine blaster, estimated at over $100,000 US, a Yoda puppet hand, Anthony Daniels’ signed personal third‑draft screenplay for the original 1977 *Star Wars*, and a Rogue One TIE Fighter pilot helmet.
These pieces illustrate how iconic film moments, clear provenance, and strong collector demand can drive auction prices into the millions, turning cinematic memorabilia into high‑value assets.
