It doesn't matter if people are fans or not because everyone knows about Star Wars. This is one of the largest franchises out there between the movies and the games. People of all ages cannot get enough of Star Wars. Between the brilliant ideas of life in another galaxy, made-up languages, and characters, people cannot go wrong. There is so much within each movie and game that fans can analyze and enjoy. Star Wars has many different props within the franchise as a whole.
There are famous helmets, weapons, spaceships, outfits, and more. Many of these famous props come from the very original Star Wars trilogy. Much of these relics are being sold at auctions and random places online at very high prices. Plus, many of them continue to resell for more and more even after selling. Let's see what some of these expensive props from the original movies are.
Princess Leia's Prisoner Costume
In Return Of The Jedi Princess Leia tries to rescue Han Solo but Jabba the Hut captures her. Fans remember seeing her in this costume as Jabba holds her on a leash. Viewers know this outfit as Leia's prisoner outfit. This piece is $96,000. Even though this costume is partly-rubber and average fabric, it's still the original piece.
Stormtrooper Helmet
Some of the most classic characters in Star Wars are the Stormtroopers. These elite characters fall under the order of Darth Vadar and stomp all over the Galactic Empire. There is a Stormtrooper helmet that is $99,400. This specific helmet is from the 1980 film The Empire Strikes Back which is the second original movie. Since this helmet is so old now, it went through many repairs such as repainting. Still, it's the original helmet that was in the film. Now, it is good as new and ready for fans to wear.
Obi-Wan's Cloak
Many fans wish they had someone like Obi-Wan Kenobi in their lives. This memorable character is a Jedi Master and is essentially responsible for the Force. Luke Skywalker greatly admires him throughout the films. Obi-Wan's cloak from Star Wars in 1977 and The Empire Strikes Back is up for grabs. That is for fans that can afford a $104,000 cloak. Fans love this cloak because it is a very humble outfit for such a major Jedi Master and fighter. Sometimes a simple statement outfit is more impressive than a glamorous warrior suit.
Darth Vader's Helmet
A fan-favorite Halloween costume is Darth Vader. It's a rather simple costume to achieve because the helmet ties it all together. Now, fans can buy the original Vader helmet. Of course, there are a few different Vader helmets throughout the films.
This one however is from The Empire Strikes Back. Yep. This one where Vader says his classic line "No. I am your father." Well, fans have to pay $115,000 if they want to.
Darth Vader's Light Saber
There are a bunch of weapons in the Star Wars films. However, the most popular weapons of them all are lightsabers. Not only do they sound cool when characters swing them and hit them together, but they are very aesthetic. Every character possesses their own lightsabers, and Darth Vader's saber is being sold. His saber from The Empire Strikes Back is $118,000. Fans who are willing to pay this much can own the saber that characters in the movie fear more than any other weapon.
C-3PO's Helmet
Fans are going to shout "Wait. Oh my!" When they hear that the price of C-3PO's helmet from Return Of The Jedi is $120,000. This is the actual helmet that Anthony Danials wears in the film. However, for this price, fans should be able to translate anything they want once this is on their heads. Even though this likely doesn't happen, they still have bragging rights. C-3PO is a fan favorite as sassy as he is. Owning his helmet would be an honor.
Motion Camera
Filming the original Star Wars movie required a lot of prepping and special effects. Especially for 1977. The producers used a special motion camera called the "Rama" to produce these special effects. The camera from the first-ever movie is $140,000. This camera might not be the best in comparison to modern-day cameras. However, it shoots the most memorable scenes in the movie. For example, this camera captures the first scene where the Millennium Falcon flies at light's speed.
X-Wing Model
All major Star Wars fans are familiar with the famous X-Wing spaceship. Of course, the X-Wing is not something that people can fly in real life. Therefore, the team made models on the ships that they enlarged in the films. The original X-Wing model from The Empire Strikes Back is $140,000.
Fans who can afford this can hold the ship that Luke flys. Unfortunately, lasers don't shoot from it and R2-D2 isn't in the back, but it still an impressive prop.
Luke Skywalker's Light Saber
For the whopping price of $450,000, fans should become a Jedi after purchasing Luke's lightsaber. This famous weapon has fans on the edges of their seats in the Star Wars films. They witness Luke fighting various enemies with this saber including Vader. True fans know that the history and generations that this saber goes through are outstanding. It seems too good to be true to possess this prop.
Han Solo's Blaster
Nobody can be as convincing with a blaster than Harrison Ford playing Han Solo. The specific blaster that Han Solo uses from the films The Empire Strikes Back and Return Of The Jedi is $550,000. Many fans love their lightsabers, but there is "no match for a good blaster" as far as Han Solo is concerned. Honestly, a gun-like weapon that shoots lasers seems really difficult to compare to. Owning the original one that Harrison Ford uses is straight-up impossible to compare though.
