'Epic' Luke Skywalker lightsaber with severed hand rig heads to auction
A Luke Skywalker lightsaber with a severed hand prop, a Wicked Witch hat and handwritten John Lennon lyrics are among the Hollywood and music artifacts heading to auction in July. Heritage Auctions previewed highlights from its Hollywood & Entertainment Signature Auction in New York on Friday (June 26), ahead of the sale online and in Dallas, Texas, scheduled for July 13-17. Among the top lots is actor Mark Hamill’s screen-used Luke Skywalker lightsaber with severed hand effects rig from “Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back,” with a starting bid of $1 million. Darth Vader cuts off Luke Skywalker’s hand during the Cloud City duel near the end of “The Empire Strikes Back,” moments before the “No, I am your father” reveal. Hale said the prop has never been offered publicly at auction.
