Darth Vader's lightsaber sold at auction for a record $4.875 million.
Darth Vader's lightsaber from the Star Wars film saga has sold at heritage auctions in the United States for $4.875 million, a record for collectibles related to the franchise.
The prop was used in the filming of The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983). In particular, the sword appeared in the famous scene of the duel between Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker, during which the villain utters the phrase: "I am your father".
The previous record was set in July 2026, when Luke Skywalker's lightsaber sold for $3.75 million. It is worth noting that Darth Vader's sword was already put up for auction in September 2025 and then went for $3.65 million.
The auction took place on November 12th as part of a special Star Wars Ultimate Auction dedicated to Star Wars. In addition to Darth Vader's sword, 27 other lightsabers used in the filming of the franchise films were put up for sale.
