The ceremonial dress worn by Princess Leia in the final scene of the original "Star Wars" film, which was stored in an attic for years, has been rediscovered and restored. It is now expected to fetch over $1 million at an upcoming auction. This event marks a significant milestone for the growing collector economy surrounding movie props. Nostalgia plays a significant role in prop collecting, attracting fans willing to pay high prices for items associated with their favorite movies. The demand for props is driven by a generational shift, with collectors who encountered these items during their childhood now having disposable income to invest in their favorite movie memorabilia. The upcoming auction includes iconic items such as an evil clown doll from "Poltergeist" and a costume worn by Daniel Radcliffe in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets."
