The earliest deadline this week belongs to Prop Store Ltd's live auction in Los Angeles, running from September 4 through September 6. Bidders are eyeing a legendary Darth Vader screen-matched hero dueling lightsaber, a piece that once lit up the galaxy in two classic films and is expected to fetch a multi‑million dollar price. A day later, Pro‑Auctions in German Valley, Illinois, hosts a one‑day toy auction on September 13 that includes a range of star war toys alongside other playthings, drawing collectors who specialize in franchise‑specific pieces.

The next scheduled close comes from Prop Store's online poster and artwork sale, slated for October 10‑12, where rare star war posters and original artwork will be up for bid, offering fans a chance to own iconic visual history from the saga. Following that, C&T Auctioneers wraps up its dedicated star war and retro toys auction on November 9, featuring a mixed batch of figures, playsets, and themed accessories that appeal to both nostalgic adults and younger enthusiasts.

The final event in the timeline is Toys Trains & Other Old Stuff's live simulcast, which begins online on November 7 and moves to live bidding on November 22; this auction highlights star war items among a broader assortment of pressed‑steel toys and vintage video‑gaming pieces. Across these varied venues, a clear trend emerges: sellers are focusing on high‑profile franchise items—especially iconic props, limited‑run toys, and original artwork—while buyers are increasingly using online platforms and live simulcasts to secure pieces quickly.

The convergence of physical and digital bidding formats suggests the market for star war items is becoming more accessible, yet competition remains fierce for the most coveted pieces.
