A lightsabre wielded by Darth Vader in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and a Batman suit worn by Michael Keaton in the 1989 film are among iconic movie memorabilia set to go under the hammer.
The Propstore auction, running from 4 to 6 September, will also feature a bullwhip, belt and holster from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989) and a costume worn by Jane Fonda in Barbarella (1968).
Darth Vader's lightsabre, described by the auctioneer as the first of its kind to be offered for sale, is expected to fetch between £746,000 and £2,238,000. Keaton's Batsuit is estimated at £186,000 to £373,000.
Harrison Ford's Indiana Jones items, claimed to be the first complete set of their kind at auction, are valued at £186,000–£373,000, while Fonda's Barbarella costume is estimated at £14,000–£29,000.
