The lightsaber that Mark Hamill used in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back when Darth Vader cut off Luke Skywalker’s hand was up for auction, and it sold for an amount that is out of this world.
How much did Heritage Auction get for the severed hand holding the handle of a lightsaber? A whopping $3.75 million.
According to the auction house, “The prop department constructed this lightsaber from a modified 3-cell Graflex flash unit fitted with a Kobold flash attachment forming the lower section. Additional studio modifications include black plastic “T-track” grips and a custom faux clamp box replacing the standard Graflex clamp assembly.”

Eli Roth is going from Thanksgiving dinner to ice cream. So if you are going to make a movie about an Ice Cream Man, then you need to have an ice cream to go with it. And it does.
The director teamed up with Humphry Slocombe for August’s Flavor of the Month. Brain Freeze is bubblegum ice cream that will be oozing swirls of their homemade strawberry jam. How delicious does that sound?
Sean Vahey, co-founder of Humphry Slocombe, says, “We love creating ice cream that surprises people. When ‘Ice Cream Man’ came along, we couldn’t resist making something that’s just the right amount of delicious and unsettling. Brain Freeze looks and tastes incredible, and is guaranteed to be the most fun you’ll have screaming for ice cream this summer.”
Brain Freeze will be available at all of their San Francisco stores, and can be delivered nationwide via Goldberry, according to Variety.
Ice Cream Man turns theaters bloody starting on August 7th.
