Very cool my only concern is this statement on the link - "Christie's said Wednesday that the costume is thought to have been made for "The Empire Strikes Back," the second film in George Lucas's sci-fi series, released in 1980." Surely the would know exactly which movie the costume was used on and (assuming there was a few suits) which scenes? Its seems a bit vague to me if i was dropping 150K - 230K i would want a cast iron assurance and documentary evidence to show the item was 100% genuine and used on screen. Jay |

Jay After reading what Shane and Bill said in the RS thread it looks like my original thoughts about this were right. Does anyone know how much it went for? Jay |
