Star Wars Memorabilia Achieves High Auction Sales

At a recent Propstore auction in Los Angeles, iconic Star Wars memorabilia fetched high prices, with Chewbacca's bowcaster selling for $768,600 and the Medal of Yavin awarded to Luke Skywalker going for $378,000. The bowcaster, a modified Horton crossbow used in all three original Star Wars films, was one of the rarest props on offer. The Medal of Yavin, presented to Luke Skywalker by Princess Leia in the original 1977 film, was noted as the first and only one of its kind sold publicly. The auction, held over three days, also featured other notable film items such as a ghost trap from Ghostbusters and costumes from Batman Returns and Harry Potter. Propstore's COO, Brandon Alinger, expressed enthusiasm about the auction's success, highlighting the enduring popularity of classic franchises.
