Description
Obi-Wan Kenobi’s (Ewan McGregor) hero domed-emitter lightsaber hilt from George Lucas‘ Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. This lot comes from the collection of celebrated stunt coordinator and sword master Nick Gillard.
This version of Obi-Wan’s lightsaber – with a domed emitter – was specific to Revenge of the Sith and made to act as a updated version of his lightsaber from The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, with hints of the weapon carried by the older Obi-Wan (Alec Guinness) in A New Hope. This style of lightsaber was filmed with but ultimately it was unseen in the final cut and there is a behind-the-scenes still of McGregor holding his domed-emitter style lightsaber on set.
This lightsaber hilt is predominantly made of aluminium, with several static switches, a black circular fixture where it previously attached to a belt clip, and a domed emitter. The lightsaber is accompanied by its original on-set padded carrying case, which features inserts for other lightsabers used on the production. Dimensions: 30 cm x 5 cm x 5 cm (11″ x 2″ x 2″)
Estimate: £50,000 – 100,000
