Darth Vader lightsaber goes for more than $3.6M at auction​

Heard some posts that this was made as some sort of flash handle. I have several that I would let go for just a small portion of this amount.

You might be a few light-years too late to cash in on that opportunity.

Yeah. Around the time of the prequel trilogy, a Heiland 3-cell handle was selling for up to $1000. People were buying them to make their own fake light sabre. They still sell for a fairly high price for that reason. Lots of entire Speed Graphic kits were bought just for that handle - who knows what happened to the rest of it.
