Luke Skywalker's trusty blaster from 1980's The Empire Strikes Back could be yours, provided you're wealthy as Jabba the Hutt.

An auction house specializing in memorabilia has put up the 'DL-44' model blaster -- starting at a hefty $200,000. If you really enjoy Star Wars and can afford to shell out the equivalent of an expensive college education, this may be the collector's item for you.

The blaster doesn't actually fire (laser blasts or otherwise) and has a bit of wear, so it's likely intended for display cases rather than Jedi. But it was used in the film's non-firing scenes, and once belonged to Mark Hamill. It's also a similar model to Han Solo's iconic blaster.

The auction is set to last through the next week. Stormtroopers to fire upon not included. Always shoot first.
