Does anyone know where JT was yesterday?LONDON - The brown hooded cloak worn by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the "Star Wars" films — and then forgotten for years in a warehouse — sold for $104,000 to an anonymous telephone bidder Tuesday at an auction of movie and TV memorabilia.
Sources claim the anonymous telephone bidder was calling from his parents' basement, wearing only his Star Wars Underoos and ranting about how Boba Fett could kick Darth Maul's ass.
The auction's main attraction was the hooded cloak worn by Alec Guinness as Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi in "Star Wars." It had gone unnoticed in the company's inventory until its provenance was discovered last year. (H/T - Yahoo!)
$104,000. To buy a robe worn by Alec Guinness three decades ago. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the Nerdus Extremus overpaid. It's probably itchy, moth-ridden, and full of "old man stink."
Oh, and what the hell does "provenance" mean, anyway? Damned limeys!
