In the wildly popular “Star Wars” films, Han Solo once told a lightsaber-wielding Luke Skywalker: “ Hokey religions and ancient weapons are no match for a good blaster at your side, kid.”

That was the case when one of the blaster pistol props used by Harrison Ford in Return of the Jedi (1983) went under the hammer, selling for US$550,000 (RM2.2mil) – topping the US$450,000 previously fetched by Skywalker’s lightsaber from the first two films.
