Darth Maul's (Ray Park) stunt lightsaber with blades from George Lucas' Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Darth Maul used his iconic double-bladed lightsaber during the climactic fight against Qui-Gon Jinn (Liam Neeson) and Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ewan McGregor) in the Theed Palace on Naboo.

Darth Maul was skilled in the ways of the dark side, creating the saberstaff as his signature weapon. Although the double-bladed lightsaber was first seen on screen in The Phantom Menace, it originated in the comic-book series Star Wars: Tales of the Jedi.

This double-ended hilt, with orange aluminum blades wrapped in a clear plastic sleeve, is cast in resin, with machined film-specific steel end caps, and an internal steel core running through the weapon's body for weight and strength. It is finished in silver-color paint, with shades of dark grey to give depth to the detailing throughout, including the two ribbed hand grips and parts of the blade-emitter plate. Four static metallic-red activator buttons and four silver-color control lock buttons span the hilt's length, and there are three incorporated black rubber O-rings. The lot exhibits paint wear which has exposed the resin in places, and cracking on the rubber. Dimensions: 89.25" x 4" x 4" (227 cm x 10.25 cm x 10.25 cm)

Estimate: $40,000 - 80,000
