Lightsabers, which are synonymous with the Jedi, can slice through almost anything. Photograph: Allstar/LucasFilm A lightsaber described as having been used by Luke Skywalker in the first Star Wars film has been withdrawn from sale by a Californian auction house after fans raised concerns about its authenticity. The item was due to be sold by Profiles in History in Los Angeles on Thursday with an estimated sale price of up to $200,000 (£160,000). It was described as having been one of five lightsabers designed by Roger Christian, the Oscar-winning Star Wars set decorator, and used by Mark Hamill in the 1977 film Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope. Christian had supplied a letter of authenticity to accompany the sale.
