Yoda's (Frank Oz) gimer stick from Irvin Kershner's Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back and Richard Marquand's Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. The legendary Jedi Master famously carried a walking stick throughout the Star Wars films, including his years in exile and training Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) on Dagobah.

Yoda was brought to life in the original films using a highly detailed puppet sculpted by artist Stuart Freeborn and performed (both in puppeteering and in voice) by celebrated Muppet performer and filmmaker Frank Oz. Yoda quickly became one of the most popular and iconic characters in the Star Wars franchise, later appearing in both the prequel and sequel trilogies.

This cane originated from Bonhams' 2005 Rock & Film Memorabilia auction. It is made of cast resin with sculpted details and brown paint to resemble a twisted length of aged wood with a knot at the handle for Yoda to hold onto. It exhibits some scuffs in the painted finish. Dimensions: 51 cm x 10.25 cm x 6.5 cm (20" x 4" x 2.5")

Estimate: £20,000 - 40,000 Ω
