The lightsaber Darth Vader wielded in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi has fetched $4.875 million at a Heritage Auctions sale in the United States. The prop featured in the famous Cloud City duel where Vader reveals he is Luke Skywalker's father. The price sets a new auction record for any Star Wars collectible, overtaking Luke's own screen-used weapon from the films.
