And finally... may the force be with you

The famous gold bikini worn by the late Carrie Fisher as Princess Leia in Star Wars has sold at auction for $175,000 (£136,000).

The bikini was sold by Heritage Auctions on Friday in the US.

The seven-piece outfit, which includes a bikini brassiere, bikini plates, hip rings, an armlet and bracelet, was designed by the late Richard Miller, the chief sculptor for Industrial Light & Magic, the visual effects company founded by Star Wars creator George Lucas.



A miniature aircraft from the first Star Wars film, A New Hope, also sold for US$1.55 million (£1.2m) at the auction, the Guardian reports.
