Han Solo's jacket from Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back expected to fetch £1m at auction

A jacket worn by Harrison Ford in the role of Han Solo in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back is going up for auction. 

The costume, as featured in the 1980 film, is expected to fetch between £500,000 and £1,000,000 at the Prop Store's auction next month, the UK’s largest annual live auction of film and TV memorabilia. 

Also on sale are Marty McFly's hoverboard from Back to the Future Part II, Tyler Durden's robe from Fight Club, and Indiana Jones’ Bullwhip from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.  

Held at London's BFI IMAX, over 600 items are set to be sold on 20 September, with a free preview exhibition open to the public in the run-up to the auction, opening on 6 September, showing a selection of 270 lots. 

Two Stormtrooper helmets will also go on sale: one from Star Wars: A New Hope, estimated from £40,000 to £60,000, and one from Star Wars: The Last Jedi, estimated from £30,000 to £50,000. 

A lightsaber wielded by Hayden Christensen's Anakin Skywalker in The Revenge of the Sith is estimated to draw bids of up to £100,000.
