Now buy my Cloak Inconvenient: At least its Warm on Tatooine I am here to put you back on schedule, and to watch Blue Peter Kenobi's Strides go under the HammerWith franchises drying up and evil empires destroyed, defendents of galactic order and evil denizens alike have had to auction off their possessions to make ends meet. No Jacket RequiredDespite guiding his apprentices through the ultimate conflict to destroy the evil imperial empire, Obi Wan Kenobi has been forced to put his tatty old cloak up for sale. Fortunately he is now an astral ghosty being so he doesn't tend to feel the cold. It has still proved inconvenient when shopping, but the £54,000 has come in handy. Follow you, Follow meHaving seen how well the green-glowy jedi master has done out of the deal, other space heroes and villains have hurried to get their clobber onto the market. Against All OddsPrincess Leia Organa had also fallen hard times, and in a bid to avoid going on the game to support her alcoholic husband, she succumbed to pressure and parted with her favourite red and gold bikini. Thankfully it turned out to be the most desired object in the known universe and fetched a tasty 150,000,000,000 credits on eBay. Take me HomeDown on his luck Sith Lord Vader didn't fare so well. He listed his lovely shiny helmet on I-Bay (the Imperial controlled auction website), but: a) misspelled his heading b) forgot to add a picture to his listing, and c) ended his auction on a Tuesday night. Unfortunately his headgear went to a nine year old girl from Basingstoke for £12.46 (+ £5.00 postage and packing). Despite several attempts at sale, no-one has expressed an interest in Chewbacca's pants. Did you like that? Hate it? Any "facts" we've missed? Tell us using the feedback form...
