Prop Store(LONDON) — Hundreds of pieces of Hollywood memorabilia were up for grabs in London earlier this week, and some fetched a fortune.
As part of Prop Store’s Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction, one of Ewan McGregor’s lightsabers from Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith commanded just over $201,000, as did a remote controllable droid seen in Solo: A Star Wars Story.
Other items that fetched a pretty penny included a Keanu Reeves Neo costume from The Matrix Reloaded, which sold for more than $83,000, and a Japanese-style sword wielded by the late Sean Connery in Highlander, which fetched $67,000.
