Auction price estimate: £10,000-£12,000
Clapperboard & Unit List
Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi (1983)
A must-have for fans of the filmmaking process, this has a fascinating detail – it still bears the shooting title of the movie, Revenge of the Jedi.
Auction price estimate: £800-£1,200
Anakin Skywalker (Sebastian Shaw) Facial Appliances and Lifecast
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1982)
It’s not every day you get to own one of the most iconic faces in cinema history – or at least a cast of it, with the appliances that turned Sebastian Shaw into Luke’s father.
Auction price estimate: £30,000-£40,000
Death Star Gun Tower Model Miniature
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi (1982)
Perfect for the fan that has everything, this was actually built by Industrial Light & Magic for the Rebels’ attack on the second death star. You’ll need to supply the gun sounds yourself, but you can do that, right?
Auction price estimate: £4,000-£6,000
Bespin Security Guard Jacket
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
Want to dress like you belong with Lando Calrissian in the clouds? Then you need this guard jacket. And only lightly used, despite that dodgy deal with the Empire.
£2,000-£4,000
Hoth Rebel Trooper Hat
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
For those occasions when you need to battle the Empire on a frozen planet (or look stylish while wandering in the snow), this will also let you look like you’ve been in a firefight. Or you can just display it using the included stand.
Auction price estimate: £15,000-£20,000
Millennium Falcon Blueprint
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980)
The Millennium Falcon is, by any regards, the coolest ship in the galaxy. So here’s a chance to own an actual design document used on the second Star Wars film, surely a must-own for any fan of the Falcon.
Auction price estimate: £1,000-£1,500
Original UK Quad Poster Artwork
