Prop Store, one of the world’s leading film and TV memorabilia companies, will be exhibiting at the world-famous Star Wars Celebration event at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida between April 13 – 16, 2017. Attendees will have the opportunity to view Princess Leia’s (Carrie Fisher) Film-Worm Ceremonial Gown from Star Wars A New Hope, as well as lots from their upcoming Star Wars and Star Trek Blueprint Online Auction and annual Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction to be held in London later this year. Leia (Carrie Fisher) Ceremonial Gown on display is the only Princess Leia costume from the first film known to still exist.
Prop Store will have a spread of original film props, hand-drawn artwork, storyboards, posters and more, available for direct sale at the show. This material was used in the production of the films themselves.
Lots from the upcoming Blueprint Auction will be on show at booth 2044. Prop Store will be offering over 75 individual lots of Star Wars and Star Trek set blueprints during the online auction, beginning on Friday 14th April at PST at propstoreauction.com.

All lots are being sold without reserve, allowing the fans to determine the final bid prices.
Prop Store will once again hold one of the UK’s largest live auctions of film and TV memorabilia this fall, held at London’s BFI IMAX proudly presented by ODEON, Europe’s largest cinema chain. Visitors to the booth will be able to be view many of the key Star Wars lots due to go under the hammer later this year in London.
Stephen Lane, Prop Store CEO, commented on the upcoming event: “It’s been 40 years, but there is still nothing quite like Star Wars! Please take a moment to stop by booth 2044 where you’ll be able to see Princess Leia’s white gown from A New Hope among other priceless items from the greatest franchise of them all.”
OMG this is the coolest thing I have read all day! I totally want to go see this!!!
I think it would be really cool to see Princess Leah’s dress in person. I love the Star Wars movies and I’m excited to see rogue one .
I’m not going but I am so glad you are. Get a close up picture of that belt. I love this dress and always thought it would be a beautiful wedding dress!
Wow, how cool is this? I’m not even a star wars fan but I’d love to be able to see Princess Leia’s gown!
Wow, this is super awesome! Star Wars is truly amazing.
Thanks for sharing.
Oh wow this looks like an opportunity of the life time, especially if you’re a star wars fan! Also -can we just talk about how see through it is? I’m sure it didn’t look this cheeky in the film haha:) xx
Wow it look really nice. How cool to see a star wars prop. May the force be with you my friend. xx
I think my son and my other half would be very excited to read this (personally I haven’t seen star wars and I know that makes me very uneducated!!).
As a big Star Wars fan I would love to see Leia’s gown up close. It’s always so fascinating to see the work that goes into creating costumes for movies.
Holy cow. This definitely makes me excited. I think it’s awesome to be able to see this in person especially since it’s something that I’ve always admired. My family’s a huge fan of Star Wars and I think this is awesome to see in person.
This is such a cool opportunity for you! No wonder your husband is jealous – I am too! I’d love to be able to see her dress.
I didn’t know about her, until my 4 year old son told me . Sorry, not a Star Wars fan, nut everyone else in my family are. Love that white gown.
That is so cool. I’m not a huge star wars fan but my husband is obsessed. He is actually going to the celebration to do press for our website. I’m sure he’s going to love this and all the other exhibits.
Oooooh I love this dress. The original movies had such great costumes for princess leia. We need more of these celebrations, and def more fashions inspired by this dress!
Wow, this looks like an incredible opportunity for Star Wars fans!
I am sure this will draw lots of attraction.
That would be amazing to see up close!! Growing up watching the movies and then getting a chance to see in person! Wow!
Oh my gosh my husband would die to see this! so cool!
To think Carrie Fisher wore this too, RIP beautiful, talented lady. I bet Star Wars fans will be excited to see the gown x
Unfortunately, I’m not going to Florida anytime soon to attend the Star Wars Celebration Event. It would be so awesome to see the dress up close!
My kids absolutely love Star Wars and they would be amazed to see memorabilia that was actually in the movie. I wish we lived closer because this would be such a fun family outing.
This is SO cool. I’ve never been a star wars fan but I love all the intricate costumes
