Star Wars memorabilia: Second C-3PO head expected to sell for $1 million

Have you ever heard the phrase: 'two heads are better than one'? For collectors of Star Wars memorabilia that might be the case.

A movie-worn C-3PO head from Star Wars: Episode VI - Return Of The Jedi is expected to fetch up to one million dollars (£791,200) at auction in Los Angeles.

It's the second C-3PO head from the original Star Wars films to go on sale in recent months.

The golden helmets that light-up are from the collection of actor Anthony Daniels who plays C-3PO in the movies and television shows.

"I hope these wonderful pieces of memorabilia find new homes where they will be displayed, respected and enjoyed by fans, who now have a chance to own a genuine piece of Star Wars history," said Daniels.

Pieces include Wolverine's leather jacket and shirt from the first X-Men movie.
