Heritage Auctions is selling several incredible Star Wars items, from Princess Leia’s Huttslayer outfit in Return of the Jedi to Din Djarin’s Mandalorian helmet, during their Hollywood/Entertainment Signature Auction on July 25th and 26th. There are innumerable iconic props and outfits from Star Wars movies and TV shows, but the slave outfit that Princess Leia was forced to wear when she was the prisoner of Jabba the Hutt is one of the most well-known. In fact, this auction features a number of priceless items from Star Wars’ best movies and Star Wars’ best TV shows.
The Heritage Auctions website has more than 500 items listed for the upcoming auction, 11 of which are linked to Star Wars. While the most significant items are undoubtedly Leia’s Huttslayer outfit, Din Djarin’s helmet, and the Gold Leader Y-Wing miniature, a number of other Star Wars items are plenty exciting, too. Additional items include a handwritten resume by Carrie Fisher, original concept art for A New Hope (then just called Star Wars), and more.

What Other Star Wars Items Are Up In This Auction?
Heritage Auctions’ Star Wars items are truly remarkable, many of them coming from the beloved original trilogy movies themselves. In addition to those already mentioned, items up for sale during this auction include a bronze sculpture of a woman dressed in an outfit similar to Princess Leia’s slave costume, which was used by Richard Miller to land the Star Wars job, and several tapes and documents, including a petition signed by George Lucas and an original script for The Empire Strikes Back. Truly, these items reflect one-of-a-kind collector’s items.

While Star Wars items do come around at various auctions, certain items simply can’t be beat, and Carrie Fisher’s iconic outfit from Return of the Jedi is certainly chief among them. However, even newer items, such as Din Djarin’s helmet from The Mandalorian, are too good to pass up while they are available. Of course, if the $31,000 price tag for the slave costume or $20,000 starting bid for Din Djarin’s Mandalorian helmet causes a bit of sticker shock, the lower-priced items, such as Carrie Fisher’s handwritten resume and Richard Miller’s bronze sculpture, are also unbelievably cool.
In truth, Star Wars fans can’t go wrong with any of these items. Notably, the auction does include many impressive items outside the Star Wars franchise, including Thor’s hammer, Mjölner, from Thor: The Dark World and a scale model of the Voyager from Star Trek. Indeed, there are a number of incredibly tempting items up for auction, and they are only available for a limited time. For those looking to snap up one of these priceless Star Wars items, or any of the other items available, be sure to access the Hollywood/Entertainment Signature Auction on July 25th and 26th.
