If you are missing on the origin of the Fighter then it is the one that was attentively crashed with Darth Vader and permitted Luke to blow up the Death Star, assembled from resin and cannibalized parts picked from numerous model kits. They say auction won’t authoritatively commence until 1 August but if wish to be the first one to bid for it and partcipate actively in it then go ahead and mark a starting bid of $170,000.
