Obi-Wan Kenobi's (Ewan McGregor) training lightsaber from George Lucas' Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. Kenobi wielded his blue lightsaber while serving as Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jin's (Liam Neeson) Padawan until Sith Lord Darth Maul (Ray Park) kicked it into a reactor shaft during their fateful duel. In the Star Wars canon, Kenobi constructed his lightsaber to emulate Qui-Gon Jinn's, even creating a replica of the weapon after the first version was destroyed.

This lightsaber was used by McGregor during training for the film and is signed by the film's stunt coordinator and lightsaber choreographer, Nick Gillard. It features a green aluminum blade, wrapped in a clear plastic sleeve, and a resin handle that is painted solid black. The blade is thicker and heavier than the standard type used during filming, so it would not easily bend. The lightsaber is in good overall condition with some impact marks on the blade's sleeve from dueling, and wear on the handle. Dimensions: 2" x 2" x 49" (5 cm x 5 cm x 124.5 cm)

Estimate: $12,000 - 16,000
