Star Wars C-3PO actor auctioning film memorabilia including the droid’s gold helmet for £1million | The Sun
STAR Wars C-3PO actor Anthony Daniels is auctioning his memorabilia from the films — with the droid’s gold helmet tipped to fetch up to £1million.
Anthony, who featured in all nine films of the main saga plus spin-offs, is selling almost 200 items including scripts, props and costumes.
C-3PO’s helmet which he wore in the first film in 1977 with droid pal R2-D2 will be the biggest money-maker.
Also among the lots are pairs of C-3PO’s hands and feet, both estimated to go for up to £30,000, and two of the droid’s fingers for £10,000.
Anthony, 77, said he was looking forward to finding a good home for the treasures.
He said: “I realised I had these items and they’re not unloved but they are unlooked at.
