Turn To The Dark Side – Darth Vader’s Light Saber Going Up For Auction

May the force — and fortunes — be with you.

The lightsaber used by Darth Vader during the latter two films of the original “Star Wars” trilogy will be auctioned off alongside a slew of other memorabilia from the franchise and is expected to rake in millions, according to a report.

The hilt of the primary dueling lightsaber used by masked villian during “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi” will go on the market at Los Angeles’ Propstore in September and is predicted to sell for anywhere between $1 million and $3 million.

The prop hilt is believed to be the first of its kind to go on the market, as no other lightsabers from the original trilogy ever went to private buyers.

They were instead cycled through museums, with Luke Skywalker’s lightsaber from “The Empire Strikes Back” residing with Ripley’s Believe It or Not.

Personally, I like the force choke from long distance. That’s a skill I could use in life.
