An original draft of a Star Wars script left in a London apartment by actor Harrison Ford, who played Han Solo, has sold at auction in the UK for £10,795 ($13,600).
The script was used when Ford was in London filming the first part of the epic saga, originally titled The Adventures of Luke Starkiller, at Elstree Studios north of London.
The fourth draft of the script, dated March 15, 1976, was bought from an Austrian collector, AFP reported.
Ford left the script in the London flat he was renting at the time, along with photo schedules, which sold for £4,826, and a letter from an agent or friend, which sold for £177.80.
The landlords who rent out the property find the items and store them for decades.
The incomplete and disconnected script contains revisions and introduces Han Solo on page 56.
The 1977 film catapulted Ford to international fame, and he starred in the sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983), before reprising the role in The Force Awakens (2015).
Excalibur Auctions auctioneer Jonathan Torode said this sale set a new record for a "Star Wars" script, "showing how personal connection to objects is so alluring to fans of the epic saga. /BGNES
