A lightsaber prop from the famous Star Wars reveal scene is being auctioned by Heritage Auctions and is expected to sell for about 1 million dollars. The auction also features numerous other items from the film franchise, including costumes, robots, and posters.

A prop lightsaber used during the iconic scene where Darth Vader reveals his identity to Luke Skywalker is currently being auctioned by Heritage Auctions. Experts anticipate that the historical film item will reach a valuation of approximately one million dollars. This auction follows a previous sale earlier this year, where another lightsaber from the same scene, paired with a prosthetic hand from the character Luke Skywalker, fetched an impressive 3.75 million dollars.

Beyond this centerpiece, the auction house is offering a wide array of other memorabilia from the Star Wars franchise. The collection up for bidding includes over a dozen additional lightsabers, original film posters, various robots, and helmets, as well as several screen-used costume pieces. Collectors and fans are expected to show significant interest in these rare cinematic artifacts as the bidding process continues through the organization.
