Star Wars Collector Gus Lopez Joins Us Live on YouTube!

Tomorrow, Thursday May 21 at 6pm PST.

Gus Lopez is here to discuss his legendary Star Wars prop collection, provide insight into the upcoming SAGA Museum of Star Wars Memorabilia, and share insight into one of his most hotly debated acquisitions: what may be an original 1977 Luke Skywalker lightsaber from A New Hope.

This live chat sets the stage for our full investigation dropping later this week, where we'll dig into provenance, materials analysis, screen matching, and what this prop might really be.

Don't miss the full investigation, dropping this Saturday. It changes everything about how we understand the early lightsaber development.
