Star Wars fans rejoice — movie memorabilia is on its way!

Fans of the legendary film franchise are in with the chance of taking home C-3PO’s head, which is among other props from benchmark movies, including Titanic and Indiana Jones, being made available at an auction that will stream live next month.

Auctioneer Propstore returns for its annual live auction from Nov. 9 to Nov. 12. That's when it will present C-3PO’s iconic light-up head as the leading item up for sale, which is estimated to go for £1 million ($1.2 million).

The prop head was worn by actor Anthony Daniels in the 1977 film Star Wars: A New Hope. Daniels is also selling other items used on set of the Star Wars films.

“I’m thrilled that Propstore has agreed to curate my collection and I trust that the pieces will go into the right hands,” Daniels stated in a press release. “I hope this can bring pleasure to Star Wars fans and collectors all around the world and give them a chance to own a piece of the real thing.”

Propstore’s auction next month takes place online and over the phone. In-person bidding happens for the first two days of the event on Nov. 9 and Nov. 10 at BAFTA 195 Piccadilly in London.

The auction will also be selling a waistcoat and a pair of pants worn by Leonardo DiCaprio when he played Jack Dawson in the 1997 classic Titanic. The items are estimated to be sold for $115,000-$230,000.
