Guests encounter three actors in eye-catching futuristic costumes operating control panels inside an immersive spaceship attraction, capturing the playful spirit of classic Star Wars and Spaceballs as experienced at a themed entertainment venue.

There are a couple of very cool pieces of “Star Wars” and “Spaceballs” memorabilia up for auction.

The lightsaber that Luke Skywalker inherits from his father (which later ends up in the hands of Rey) is available as part of the Profiles in Hollywood auction. The iconic prop was used on screen in “A New Hope” and “The Empire Strikes Back,” and it’s expected to sell for between $150,000 – $250,000.

The prop, which is being auctioned by producer Gary Kurtz, comes with a letter of authenticity.

Also up for grabs in the Profiles in Hollywood auction is the helmet worn by Rick Moranis in the Star Wars spoof, “Spaceballs.” Moranis played the Darth Vader-inspired villain Dark Helmet.
