Items belonging to Star Wars actor Peter Mayhew will be returned to his wife after a public appeal.
Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher, Peter Mayhew and Anthony Daniels on the set of Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
His widow, Angie, pleaded to halt the sale, saying leaving the items was one of her husband's "biggest regrets".Writing on the Peter Mayhew Foundation's Twitter account, Mrs Mayhew said she had previously lived in the property with her husband, who was 7ft 3in , but when they moved out his "movement challenges" made it "impossible" for him to get into the attic to collect the items.
"The contents of the attic included a bag of Star Wars memorabilia, which I thought might be of some interest to Star Wars fans. "The monetary value of the lot is fairly modest, but knowing how much it means to the foundation, and given that it had been in the attic for over 24 years, the vendors are quite happy to donate it to the foundation to have permanently within their personal collection, not for profit, so that fans can access it in perpetuity.
