“Star Wars Online” collects trinkets, art pieces, and classic toys from the original trilogy, spanning between 1977 and 1983. That includes action figures of important characters like Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, and Princess Leia fromA New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back,andReturn of the Jedi.

There are silk screen banners and action figures still in their original packaging – an integral part to Star Wars collecting as any fan will tell you. One poster in particular stood out to me while I was perusing the collection: thisstunning special release Japanese posterdesigned by Ohrai Noriyoshi. It’s one that Sotheby’s defines as “exceptionally rare.”
