Today I Learned

A long-lost X-Wing model from A New Hope sold for $3.1 million at auction last year, making it the priciest Star Wars screen-used prop ever. It’s one of just four "hero" models crafted for close-up shots. A legendary relic of movie history!

You ever hear about something so disturbing that people just pretend it never existed?

Why? Because it was that dangerous. It wasn’t just another Sith experiment or some lost legend. This creature was a nightmare made real—something the Jedi wanted erased forever.

But I found it. And you’re gonna want to see this. 👇
