A legendary Star Wars prop just shattered records—Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber and severed hand from The Empire Strikes Back sold for $3.75 million, becoming the most expensive screen-used Star Wars item ever. This iconic piece, featuring a practical effects rig made from Mark Hamill’s hand in 1979, captures the moment Darth Vader drops the “I am your father” bombshell. It outbid last year’s record-holder—a Darth Vader lightsaber—and follows a surge in Star Wars memorabilia sales, including a $1 million C-3PO head. Collectors aren’t just buying props—they’re investing in pieces of modern mythology, proving the enduring power of these films and the artistry of classic filmmaking.
