  • arkaycee, on 12/14/2008, -0/+4Was it dark there next to George Lucas? That might not have been a light saber....
  • D3koy, on 12/13/2008, -0/+4That's a historical artifact, it belongs in a museum! Solo should know that and have kept them from selling it....
  • inactive, on 12/13/2008, -1/+4My geek claim to fame: I actually got to hold that very same lightsaber during a visit to the Skywalker Ranch in the early 90s.

  • icabodane, on 12/13/2008, -1/+4Does the force tell you where to get a vintage 70's photography flashgun? It is telling me to check eBay...

  • bb112266, on 12/14/2008, -0/+1If something like that can be sold for that price, it makes one wonder how bad the global economy is now. I think all the tripe we hear is political fudo! Yes the economy is bad for the average person, but it is the governments that are to blame and not what the people do themselves.
