Star Wars was already a movie franchise that had penetrated deep into pop culture over the decades. Amazingly, the franchise is 45 years old and under the continuation of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE: DIS) it still manages to keep reinventing itself. The first Star Wars reboot after the movies was The Mandalorian, then came the Book of Boba Fett. Now there is Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi for Star Wars fans to chase. So how does all of this fit into collectibles?
The answer is an upcoming June 21, 2022 auction from PropstoreAuction.com which features multiple Lightsaber props from various films that were used by Ewan McGregor in his roles as Obi-Wan Kenobi. The prices for these movie props should speak volumes over how popular the Star Wars franchise remains even in 2022.
