A Rebel trooper blaster made for the production of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Rebel soldiers were seen with silver-tipped blasters in both Star Wars: A New Hope and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back. This blaster, commonly known as the BlasTech DH-17 blaster pistol, was created for Return of the Jedi and intended to be used for filming, but ultimately did not appear in the film. A similar Return of the Jedi rebel soldier blaster was documented in pre-production photography during prep.

The blaster is built on a replica Sterling submachine gun. It is primarily metal and has been modified by the production team to feature futuristic dressing such as the custom-machined silver-color flash suppressor, the greeblies dressed on either side, a cut-down magazine, and a single-point scope mounted on a rod scope rail.

While never seen on film in Jedi, the rebel blasters are well known amongst Star Wars fans due to their use in the prior Star Wars films. The blaster exhibits some wear from use and age, including scuffing, paint loss, and chipping to the front of the scope. Dimensions: 17" x 9" x 4" (43.25 cm x 23 cm x 10.25 cm)

Estimate: $16,000 - 32,000
