Description
Obi-Wan Kenobi’s (Ewan McGregor) rehearsal lightsaber from George Lucas‘ Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith. Jedi Master Kenobi carried and used his lightsaber in various scenes throughout the saga, notably during a duel on the fiery planet of Mustafar with his former apprentice Anakin Skywalker (Hayden Christensen), by then known as Darth Vader.
This lot consists of a black and silver-colour metal and resin lightsaber hilt with a rounded pommel cap inset with a threaded metal rod, as well as a green carbon fibre blade. 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 wielding his updated lightsaber from the beginning of the film. The hilt and blade exhibit nicking and scuffing throughout from production and handling. Dimensions: 124.5 cm x 4.5 cm x 4.5 cm (49″ x 1.75″ x 1.75″)
Estimate: £2,500 – 5,000
