By Danny FullbrookBBC News, Hertfordshire
The Actor who played C-3PO in Star Wars said " it feels like it is time" to sell the costumes, props and scripts he kept from The Iconic films.
Anthony Daniels , 77, is Parting Company with items from his personal collection via Hertfordshire-based auctioneer Propstore from Thursday.
The famous gold helmet he wore for his character in The First film from 1977 is estimated to sell for up to £1m.
Daniels said he was excited for his collection to " find a good home".
" I realised I had these items and they're not unloved but they are unlooked at - we don't have them crowding the sitting room, " He Said , explaining why he has chosen to sell the items now.
" Will I feel sad to part with them? No. I will enjoy the fact people will cherish and display them. "
He has put nearly 200 items up For Sale at the auction including part of his C-3PO costume, scripts he used during production and even parts of legendary spaceship the Millennium Falcon .
" I did rescue those pieces of the Millennium Falcon from A Bonfire at the back of Elstree Studios after production finished on Return of the Jedi, " he recalled.
It is estimated those various scraps of Han Solo 's beloved ship could sell for a total of £9,000.
His hand-annotated dubbing scripts for The Empire Strikes Back could sell for More Than £1,000.
He Said : " Those are so real, it takes me back to standing in front of the dubbing screen. "
The Actor does still have some Star Wars memorabilia on display in his home.
He has a small Lego brick statue of his character he was given after working on a Star Wars Lego film.
He also has a C-3PO statuette, designed to look like an Oscar, which he kept from production company Lucasfilm.
The Wiltshire-born thespian said he has no plans to auction those, " I'll take those to the grave" He Said , firmly.
Daniels revealed while working on The Final film of the saga, 2019's Rise of Skywalker, he was told he could take items off The Set if he wanted, " but I've got enough, " he added.
Propstore will start auctioning various items from film and TV, including the C-3PO head, on Thursday at BAFTA's Piccadilly base in London.
The Actor , who will be attending the auction, said he feels " very good about it and very excited" about The Event .
The auction will last until Sunday with most items from the Daniels' collection expected to go under The Hammer on Saturday.
" Propstore have beautifully and carefully curated The Collection .
" In a curious way it means more to them then it does to me, because I have The Real Memories - I was there, " He Said .
