Han Solo’s Blaster Movie Prop Goes For $200,000

One lucky Star Wars fans with an extra $200,000 to blow won their very own Han Solo blasterthis past weekend during an online auction for the blaster. The battered film prop, like many other Star Wars ones, is based on a World War II original, with this particular blaster inspired by a German Mauser C96 semi-automatic pistol without the shoulder stock. By default, the buyer is anonymous so there’s no telling who the lucky Star Wars fanatic is, however, the movie prop that sold this past Saturday wasn’t even used by Harrison Ford himself during A New Hope and no one knows where that one is really. This blaster is actually the version that replaced it, used in the  Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. It’s the weapon from the scene where Han Solo shoots Darth Vader in Cloud City, only to have Vader deflect it and take the blaster from a distance. The listing for the prop on the auction site, Profiles in History, also mentions that it could have been used by Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker when he enters Cloud City for a brief moment. The seller expected to bring in as much as $300,000 for the prop, so it sold on the low end of its estimate.

The five person submarine keeps its explorers safe and sound in its climate-controlled  3 1/4″-thick acrylic pressure sphere that enables conversation. It meets all of the safety guidelines of the  International Maritime Organization and is classified by Germanischer Lloyd with two independent life support systems that provide data on depth, internal pressure, temperature, battery status, thruster status and trim tanks status.


It features  130- and 24-volt Lithium-ion battery banks that will provide users with up to 8 hours of continuous undersea exploration, while its dual-pontoon structure and broad freeboard makes for superior surface stability, even in rough water conditions. There are two horizontal thrusters that provide fore, aft, and directional control in addition to a maximum submersed speed of 2 1/2 knots (4 knots surface) while two vertical thrusters provide up and down control. Surface communication is done by a VHF radio while its  underwater telephone communicates while submerged. And don’t worry about not knowing what to do since it comes with comprehensive training.
