“The Mandalorian” fans will be pulling out their wallets and saying “This is the way” for this new auction item … a lightsaber used in the show and wielded by Luke Skywalker himself, Mark Hamill!
GWS Auction has put the saber up for sale … starting the bidding at $25K — so, a super Star Wars fan is going to need to empty the bank account for this one.
According to the site, two versions of the lightsaber — a metal one called a “hero” lightsaber used for close-up shots and inserts and a lighter “stunt” lightsaber used in general shots and action sequences. This is the stunt lightsaber.
If you don’t know … Hamill appeared in a few episodes of the hit Disney+ show — including one where he used a lightsaber to tear through a series of enemies on a battleship.
A body double was used too … and, then the two performers were merged using CGI technology. Check out the scene for yourself — it’s pretty impressive tech.
Luke’s lightsaber has been put in a “custom-designed, museum-quality display that perfectly captures the essence of a vintage Star Wars toy” to pay homage to the series old school aesthetic while keeping it from damage … pretty important since it’s going for at leasrt 25 Gs.
The auction goes live on March 22 … and, it appears bidding needs to be done in increments of $2,000 — so, this collectible could break the bank.
May the Force be with you … and, happy bidding!!!
