The jacket worn by Harrison Ford in his role as Han Solo in the Star Wars film The Empire Strikes Back has failed to meet its reserve price at auction.

The jacket was expected to fetch up to £1 million when it went under the hammer, but failed to reach the £500,000 reserve.

The highest bid for the item was £450,000.

It was part of an auction of rare blockbuster film memorabilia, which also included the fedora worn by Ford’s Indiana Jones in The Raiders Of The Lost Ark, which had been expected to sell for between £200,000 and £300,000 – but instead reached £320,000.

Also among the 600 lots auctioned by Prop Store was a Stormtrooper helmet from the first Star Wars film, A New Hope, which fetched £40,000, as well as a similar helmet from the most recent film The Last Jedi, which sold for £110,000.

Proceeds from the hammer price of that prop will be donated to the NSPCC.
