    • One of the most iconic — and uncomfortable — costumes in film history, this metal bikini that Carrie Fisher wore during the Jabba the Hutt palace scenes in ‘Return of the Jedi’ is expected to fetch $80,000-120,000. It comes with the original wax prototypes sculpted during pre-production, as well as paintings that show the evolution of the costume’s design and the artists’ notes and reference photos. (Profiles in History)
    • Speaking of the Tattooine-based crime lord, the original design sculpture made by legendary Oscar-winning visual effects artist Phil Tippett is also up for sale. There is only one of these bad boys left, and it’s expected to go for $12,000-15,000. (Profiles in History)
    • The ‘Star Wars’ franchise won a bundle of Oscars and other awards for its special effects and groundbreaking technological work, but no trophy could compare to this one-of-a-kind C-3PO statuette. This incredible artifact was presented to visual effects master Brian Johnson after he left ILM following ‘The Empire Strikes Back.’ It’s signed by over 30 ILM crew members, too, including the legendary Joe Johnston. You’ll have to pony up $15,000-20,000 for this guy. (Profiles in History)
