"In addition to being worn at promotional events for the original movie, the helmet's dome has the distinction of featuring on the Advance poster for The Empire Strikes Back."

While the outfit wasn't used in the actual film, there are plenty of items on the auction block that were used in one of the Star Wars films. This includes a Stormtrooper helmet from A New Hope, Count Dooku's lightsaber from Attack of the Clones, a Stormtrooper costume from The Mandalorian, and much more. However, screen-used items' estimated selling prices are all over one thousand dollars.

The auction takes place on Wednesday, August 26 and Thursday, August 27, and it will feature a "collection of film memorabilia worth over $6 million." There are more than 850 items for this event, and bids can be placed online on the Prop Store site.
