Summary

  • Screen-used Darth Vader dueling lightsaber from The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi up for auction
  • Only verified hero lightsaber prop from the original trilogy ever offered publicly
  • Estimated to fetch $1–3 million USD at auction

A screen-used Darth Vader lightsaber prop, wielded in pivotal lightsaber duels from The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), is going up for auction for the first time, expected to fetch as much as $3,000,000 USD.

Crafted from a vintage British press camera flash handle and modified with plastic grips, wires and a circuit board with calculator-style magnifying bubbles, the saber was used in scenes where Darth Vader clashes with Luke Skywalker. The prop matches production stills from Empire and shows screen-matched damage consistent with Return of the Jedi, confirming its use in both films.

Considered one of the most significant Star Wars artifacts ever offered to the public, this is believed to be the only verified “hero” dueling lightsaber from the original trilogy to reach auction. Long held in a private collection and rarely seen outside the films, its debut marks a unique opportunity for collectors and fans of the franchise.
