Calling all Star Wars fans!

Super-villain Darth Vader's lightsaber has gone on display, but not in a galaxy far, far away.

It's actually been on display in London, before it goes on sale in September.

Experts think the saber could be sold for up to £2.2m, so you'll need the force to be with you if you want to get your hands on it - or save up A LOT of pocket money!

It's part of a collection of famous props and costumes from films, including Harry Potter, Batman and Spider-Man, that will be sold in September.

The lightsaber could be worth up to £2.2m

The lightsaber was used in films by the actor David Prowse who played Darth Vader, and his stunt performer Bob Anderson.

It featured in epic battles from classic films like The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983).

It was originally made back in the 1950s, using the flash handle of a vintage British press camera.
