Star Wars actor Anthony Daniels, who’s played C-3PO since 1977, is selling is vast collection of memorabilia. When Anthony Daniels joined Star Wars back in the 1970s, he had no idea how massive the movie would become. Nobody could imagine that, 46 years later, Star Wars would be one of the biggest franchises in cinematic history. That perhaps explains why Daniels himself acquired such a vast collection.

According to the BBC, Daniels – now 77 – is selling this collection. This includes the famous golden helmet he wore from the first movie in 1977, estimated to sell at up to £1 million ($1.23 million). “I realized I had these items and they’re not unloved but they are unlooked at – we don’t have them crowding the sitting room,” he explained. “Will I feel sad to part with them? No. I will enjoy the fact people will cherish and display them.“

Anthony Daniels’ Collection Is A Treasure Trove For Collectors

Anthony Daniels’ collection will be auctioned on Thursday by Propstore, at BAFTA’s Piccaddilly base in London. The auction will last until Sunday with most items from the Daniels’ collection expected to go under the hammer on Saturday. “In a curious way it means more to them then it does to me,” Daniels observed, “because I have the real memories – I was there.” He’s kept a couple of his more precious mementos, including a small LEGO brick statue and a C-3PO statuette designed to look like an Oscar. “I’ll take those to the grave,” Daniels insisted.

The collection he is selling will be a treasure trove, though. The mask is thrilling, and the scripts – which include his own annotations during filming – are a part of Star Wars history. Individual pieces of the Millennium Falcon are estimated to sell for a total of £9,000 (over $11,000). It will be exciting to see how much they sell for.
