There’s more Star Wars merch than sand on Tatooine these days, but some collectibles are far more valuable than others.

To celebrate May the 4th, eBay is hosting an event called “Your Side of the Fourth,” which features a curation of rare and iconic items from the franchise put together by actress and Carrie Fisher’s daughter, Billie Lourd. 

Starting today, you can shop the Light Side and Dark Side collections, which feature 12 rare auction items combined. With bidding starting at just $0.54 — a reference to our favorite day of the year — everyone has a chance to snag a piece of Star Wars history.

“It has been a supremely sentimental journey combing through eBay’s incredibly expansive Star Wars inventory — from legendary pieces dating back to 1977 to today’s most modern must-have items,” Lourd says. “I am a deeply obsessed Star Wars fanatic so getting to curate a collection that is meaningful to both fans and me has been one of the most fun things I’ve ever gotten to do. The widespread familial love for Star Wars and its iconic history brings me so much joy and I feel so lucky to get to partner with eBay to offer fans a rare piece of that magical history.”

Items from the Light Side of the Force include a Mark Hamill-signed replica Luke Skywalker lightsaber hilt, a Carrie Fisher-signed trading card from 1980, a Harrison Ford-signed Marvel Han Solo #1 comic book, and more. Dark Side collectibles include a David Prowse-signed Darth Vader replica helmet, a Special Edition Dark Side Anakin Skywalker Funko Pop (#281) signed by Hayden Christensen, a Star Destroyer LEGO set, and more.

You can also tune into a special livestream on May 2 hosted by Anthony Carboni and Krystina Arielle at Lucasfilm headquarters. The live stream will feature Star Wars collectibles and opportunities to win must-have merchandise. If you miss out on the May 2 livestream, eBay will also have livestreams all day on May the 4th, so you can find the perfect addition to your collection.

Even if you’re a casual eBay user, this opportunity to expand your Star Wars collection with rare finds is simply too good to pass up! Shop all of eBay’s Star Wars finds at ebay.com/vlp/maytheforce.
