Also being sold is the Wookie’s bowcaster, featured in all three films in the original trilogy, including 1980’s Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back, which Propstore called “one of the rarest Star Wars hero props in existence”.
Star Wars, originally filmed at Elstree Studios in Hertfordshire, has turned into a huge franchise, spawning prequels, sequels and spin-off shows including The Mandalorian, Andor and 2019’s Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker.
In the movie, thanks to the efforts of rebels finding the plans for the Death Star, Luke blows up the planet-destroying weapon, which is later rebuilt in Star Wars: Episode VI – Return Of The Jedi.
A medal given to Luke Skywalker after he destroyed the Death Star in Star Wars is on sale for 300,000 to 600,000 US dollars (£238,000 to £476,000).
Brandon Alinger, Propstore chief operating officer, said: “Propstore is thrilled to bring these incredible Star Wars props to auction and for fans to see them for the first time in many years.
