‘Darth Vader’ costume can’t find new owner at sale

LONDON -- Auctioneers overestimated the power of the dark side. An original Darth Vader costume from a "Star Wars" movie did not sell at auction Thursday when no bidder offered to pay the reserve price, Christie's auctioneers said. The outfit was expected to sell for between $250,000 to $365,000. The costume is thought to have been made for "The Empire Strikes Back," released in 1980.
