News summary

Carrie Fisher's iconic gold bikini from 'Star Wars: Return of the Jedi' has sold for $175,000 at Heritage Auctions in Dallas, making it one of the most famous costumes in film history. Fisher, who portrayed Princess Leia, expressed her discomfort with the outfit, stating she felt 'nearly naked' and had to sit very rigidly to avoid creases. The auction also featured a mini Y-Wing starfighter model, which sold for an impressive $1.55 million, one of only two 'hero' filming miniatures created for the original Star Wars trilogy. Other notable auction items included a wand from 'Harry Potter' that sold for $52,000 and a prop hammer from a 'Thor' film fetching $81,000. Fisher's costume remains highly controversial, with many viewing it as sexist, despite her eventual enjoyment in the scene where Leia kills Jabba the Hutt. The sale highlights the enduring legacy and impact of Fisher's character in the Star Wars franchise.
