That is a lot of cash, my friends. That is some major money, but we all know “Star Wars” fans never play around with the movies.
If I had the kind of money to drop $300,000 on Vader’s helmet, you best believe that I would in a heartbeat.
We’re talking about arguably the greatest villain the history of film.
With “The Rise of Skywalker” coming out today, I’m not surprised at all a famous item from the film sold for a shocking amount of cash.
If Vader’s helmet went for $300,000, I wonder what Luke’s lightsaber could go for. It would have to be about the same amount, right?
No matter what, you know you’re a real fan when you write a check for $300,000 for a film prop. I don’t blame the person at all.
Getting Darth Vader’s mask is the definition of a power move, and I’d do the same thing.
