Your husband walks in and tells you to sit down for a moment. “Hunnie, I made a little $200,600 investment today,” he tells you. Beads of sweat trickle down your face. “WHAT the #@&%?!” you scream.

This may had been the reaction of one anonymous bidder?s spouse after hearing he/she won the light saber used by Mark Hamill (who played Luke Skywalker in the original “Star Wars”), during an auction on Friday.

The light saber sold for $200,600 U.S. plus an 18 per cent fee from the auction house.

The movie props and costumes auction, which was held by Profiles in History, included 75 pieces from the producer of the first two ?Star Wars?- Gary Kurtz?s private collection.

The auction items were to help raise money for a public film archive.

Other ?Stars Wars? memorabilia sold for over one hundred thousand dollars; such as the light saber used by the character Darth Vader.

Props like a leather jacket worn by Harrison Ford in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade,” and a leather jacket worn by Arnold Schwarzenegger in “The Terminator? also sold for over $40,000.

Identities of the buyers were undisclosed.
