Propstore UK Auction Day One Achieves £7.7 Million in Film Memorabilia

LONDON, UK – Propstore has announced strong Day 1 results from its London Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction, held yesterday, Friday 5 December 2025. A total of 425 rare and significant film and television lots were offered, realizing an impressive £7.7 Million  ($10.2 Million), including buyer’s premium.

The top performer of the day was Boba Fett’s (Jeremy Bulloch) hero screen-, photo-, and serial-number-matched EE-3 carbine blaster from Irvin Kershner’s Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980). The piece achieved £459,900 ($607,068) after competitive bidding. As the film marks its 40th anniversary, the result highlights the enduring impact of the Star Wars franchise and the sustained demand for original trilogy artefacts among collectors.

The auction also set a major benchmark with the sale of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s (Ewan McGregor) Hero Lightweight Lightsaber, accompanied by a George Lucas–signed Letter of Authenticity, from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace (1999). The piece realised £289,800 ($382,536), establishing a new world record for the highest price achieved for a prequel-trilogy lightsaber at auction.

Another standout result was Indiana Jones’ Fedora from Temple of Doom (1984), which achieved £365,400 ($482,328) after a spirited bidding run.
