Guess what sold for $200,000? It's a long, thick part of Luke Skywalker!

It didn't come cheap, but an anonymous bidder now owns a piece of Jedi history. A light saber used by actor Mark Hamill as he played Luke Skywalker in the original "Star Wars" sold for $200,600 Friday in an auction of movie props and costumes in Beverly Hills.

A light saber used by Darth Vader in the film fetched $118,000, said Joe Maddalena, president of Profiles in History, which put on the auction.

Article has more.

A modified flashlight sold for over $200,000 and won't even light up because the blue is a special effect... :crazy:
