Many of Carrie Fisher’s most prized possessions are currently being prepared for auction. A number of items relating to Fisher’s role in Star Wars will be part of the general collection. While this has generated a great deal of excitement from fans, a recent complication has caused some concern. Appearing on a morning show last month to promote the sale, Fisher’s brother, Todd, led viewers on a tour of his sister’s home to showcase a few of the items appearing for auction. During the tour, Todd stopped at a Yoda statue and referred to it as “her Yoda.” This reference generated a quick response accusing Carrie’s brother of misleading the audience as the figure was actually purchased at an auction months after Fisher’s death. The company hosting the auction has pulled a number of the items originally slated for sale in order to verify their authenticity. The auction is scheduled to take place in September and a portion of the proceeds will go to charity.
