Initially valued between $300,000 and $500,000, Solo's blaster shattered expectations by fetching $1 million in a 2022 auction.

The iconic Panavision PSR 35 millimetre camera used by Lucas in a new hope was sold as part of Debbie Reynolds' vast collection after her museum plans fell through, setting new highs for vintage Hollywood cameras at a Beverly Hills auction. This piece of cinematic history not only came with a photo of George Lucas using it on set but also included rare Panavision paperwork allowing private ownership. Other vintage cameras at the auction, including those used in "2001: A Space Odyssey", didn't come close to the Lucas camera's appeal. Ultimately, the sale shattered auction records, fetching a groundbreaking $625,000 dollars in 2011.
