Luke Skywalker’s “Empire Strikes Back” Blaster Up for Auction

Many Star Wars fans are willing to pay a lot of money for Star Wars merch, memorabilia, and collectibles, but Luke Skywalker's DL-44 from The Empire Strikes Back is already out of the price range of most dedicated fans.

If you have $200,000 burning a hole in your Star Wars wallet, then this is perfect for you. Nate D. Sanders Fine Autographs & Memorabilia is hosting the auction, and the item's description reads, "This iconic hero gun is the same model used by Han Solo, a design based on the German issue Mauser C96 pistol and custom made by casting the original prop used in the first 'Star Wars'. Gun retains its original flash suppressor and scope, though it does not (and never did) fire, making it the lighter model used in the movie for non-firing scenes. Made of gray, silver and brown colored fiberglass. Blaster was gifted to original owner by Hamill during an episode of 'Jim'll Fix It', a children's show on BBC Television."

So far, there are no listed bids, and the auction has just over a day left. Now's your chance to bid on a timeless treasure from the Star Wars movies!

Or, you know, you could just buy a replica off of Etsy for under $100 and tell people it's the real thing. It's not like you would do anything with the real thing other than place it in a display case anyway...

My personal hope is that Rian Johnson has the winning bid and uses the gun again in Star Wars Episode VIII.
