Other items in the auction include Robin Williams’ Peter Man sword from the movie ‘Hook’ which could go for around $12,000 and $16,000.
Two cars from Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon a Time in Hollywood’ – Leonardo DiCaprio’s yellow Cadillac Coupe De Ville and Brad Pitt’s Karmann Ghia sports car – are anticipated to fetch between $20,000 and $50,000, with the Cadillac expected to be at the higher end of the spectrum.
‘Star Wars’ fans will be exited to hear that Darth Vader’s iconic suit that was used in the promotion of ‘A New Hope’ will also be going on the block, as will Obi-Wan Kenobi’s (Ewan McGregor) Dueling Lightsaber Hilt from the prequel movies.
