Darth Vader’s lightsaber might be red, but its former owners are only seeing piles of green right now … ’cause they sold the prop for millions.
Thescreen-matched Hero Dueling Lightsaber used by Vader in “The Empire Strikes Back” and “Return of the Jedi” sold at auction earlier this week for $3.6 million — even higher than the original $1M-to-$3M estimate.

We caught up with Brandon Alinger — COO of Propstore, the company that sold the saber — as the item hit auction … and, he told us the company’s previous “Star Wars” prop record sale was $2.3 million. Looks like The Force was just stronger with this one.
The item sold as part of the Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction: Los Angeles Summer 2025 … an auction continuing through Saturday.

Other items up for sale include Tobey Maguire’s “Spider-Man 2” costume, Michael Keaton’s “Batman” ’89 Batsuit and Indiana Jones’ belt and whip from ‘The Last Crusade.’
Anyhoo … time for one lucky fan to fork over some dough — and, hopefully they have it ready, ’cause Lord Vader isn’t exactly the forgiving type!
