Description
Obi-Wan Kenobi’s (Ewan McGregor) rehearsal lightsaber from George Lucas‘ Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Jedi Master Obi-Wan wielded his signature blue lightsaber throughout the film.
This lot consists of a painted lightsaber hilt, a resin and metal handgrip, a rounded pommel cap inset with a threaded metal rod, and a carbon fiber blade painted to be digitally overlaid with visual effects to produce its iconic glow. This rehearsal lightsaber’s hilt is in the style carried by Kenobi in The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones, as it was originally planned for Kenobi to transition to his A New Hope hilt mid-film, but it was ultimately decided to instead have Kenobi wield his updated lightsaber from the beginning of the film. The hilt and blade exhibit nicking and scuffing throughout from production and handling. Dimensions: 49.5″ x 2″ x 2″ (125.75 cm x 5.25 cm x 5.25 cm)
Estimate: $12,000 – 24,000
