The space opera managed to catch the fancy of millions around the world, and its popularity has not waned at all. It proved to be a turning point in Ford’s life, as he was a struggling actor at the time. And now, nearly five decades later, a draft of A New Hope that the actor left in his rented apartment, was just off for an eye-watering amount.

Harrison Ford left behind something more than his toothbrush when he departed a London rental.
