Luke Skywalker’s Lightsaber Sells for $3.75M

A lightsaber with Luke Skywalker’s severed hand from ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ has sold for $3.75 million at auction. Heritage Auctions announced the results of its Hollywood & Entertainment Signature Auction on Monday.

The lightsaber, used onscreen by Mark Hamill in the climactic Cloud City fight where Darth Vader declares ‘I am your father’ in the 1980 ‘Star Wars’ sequel, included a severed hand effects rig used for when Vader sliced it off.

Other notable items sold at the auction include a Wicked Witch of the West hat worn by actor Margaret Hamilton in 1939’s ‘The Wizard of Oz’ for $550,000, and the cocoa-colored top hat worn by Gene Wilder as the title character in 1971’s ‘Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory’ for $350,000.
