Obi-Wan Kenobi's (Ewan McGregor) dueling lightsaber hilt and blade from George Lucas' Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Jedi Padawan Obi-Wan wielded his signature blue lightsaber throughout the film, including during his and Qui-Gon Jin's (Liam Neeson) duel with Darth Maul (Ray Park).

This lot consists of a lightsaber hilt with a ridged resin and metal handgrip and a rounded pommel cap inset with a threaded rod, all painted silver, black, and red to simulate a metallic finish, as well as a carbon fiber lightsaber "blade" (staff) painted green and inset with a metal rod. The hilt's threaded rod allowed for installation of aluminum blades that were used for dueling sequences and replaced frequently as they were damaged on set. The blade was designed to be affixed to a hilt for dueling sequences, then digitally overlaid with VFX to produce each lightsaber's iconic glow.

This hilt is missing a charging port and exhibits visible scuffing throughout, exposing resin just below the rod, while the blade exhibits tears and damage throughout from production use, most notably on its tip. The hilt and blade are presented separately. Dimensions (hilt): 22" x 2.5" x 2 (56 cm x 6.5 cm x 5 cm); (blade): 35" x 3" x 1" (89 cm x 7.75 cm x 2.5 cm)

Estimate: $30,000 - 50,000
