Stormtrooper helmet and Marty McFly’s hoverboard among 600 other props for sale

The jacket worn by Harrison Ford in his role as Han Solo in Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back could fetch up to £1m at auction.

The item will be part of a sale of rare blockbuster film memorabilia, which includes the farewell note Rose wrote for her fiance in Titanic, and Marty McFly’s hoverboard from Back to the Future Part II.

Also among the 600 lots to be auctioned by Prop Store in London on 20 September is a Stormtrooper helmet from the first Star Wars film, A New Hope, which is expected to fetch up to £60,000, and a similar helmet from the most recent film in the franchise, The Last Jedi, which could raise up to £50,000. Proceeds from sale of that prop will be donated to the NSPCC.
