"And just think of the thrill you'd get from owning this jacket. You could say to your guests, 'This is Han Solo's jacket,' and they'd say, 'Cool.'" But why should Harrison Ford get all the glory? Mark Hamill walked on the show to auction off some of his Luke Skywalker props — and if you don't remember them, he has (dubious) photos. Watch below. Peter Weber
