STAR WARS: REVENGE OF THE SITH (2005) - Anakin Skywalker's (Hayden Christensen) Hero Lightweight Lightsaber Hilt - Anakin Skywalker's (Hayden Christensen) hero lightweight lightsaber hilt from George Lucas' Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Anakin wore and wielded his signature lightsaber in countless duels and battles throughout the prequel saga. Following his dramatic turn to the dark side of the Force and the purging of the Jedi Temple on Coruscant in ROTS, he ultimately lost the saber during his duel with Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) on the fiery planet of Mustafar. Anakin's legendary saber is among the most significant weapons in the Star Wars narrative. It is the same piece that an aging Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness) handed to Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) in A New Hope, explaining that Luke's father "feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade." Luke later lost the saber again, along with his hand, when Anakin revealed that he was his opponent's father during their fateful Cloud City duel in The Empire Strikes Back. In The Force Awakens, the saber miraculously reentered the franchise in the possession of Rey (Daisy Ridley), leading Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) to duel her for it in Grand Leader Snoke's (Andy Serkis) throne room in The Last Jedi. The result was its final - at least, for now - destruction.This hero version of the saber's distinctive hilt, designed to be worn on the performer's belt, was custom-made for ROTS as a copy of the original Graflex-style saber Luke wielded in the original trilogy. It is slightly smaller than that first saber, an intentional design change allowing the weapon to be handled and fought with more easily. This cast-resin hilt features a metalized mirror chrome finish, black rubber strips on the grip, a Covertec belt clip designed to be situated at the base of the handle, and gold- and copper-color detailing along its body.This lot exhibits some signs of production use and handling, including a chip cut out of the grip near its belt clip to facilitate easier attachment to Anakin's belt, a hairline fracture through the base, some pitting in the rubber, and various minor nicks and smudges throughout the body, but largely retains its iconic futuristic coloration and look.Dimensions: 11" x 2.25" x 2.25" (28 cm x 5.75 cm x 5.75 cm)Estimate: $75,000 - 150,000Bidding for this lot will end on Thursday, August 15th.
