Alec Guinness portrayed Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars: A New Hope and after the shooting was complete, the robe he wore disappeared. 30 years later, the costume was found in the registers of a costume retailer in London. The clerk who was checking the stock of the retailer noticed something strange about it and told his managr.

So they realized that the costume previously rented to the general public as a monk's robe was actually Obi-Wan Kenobi's famous cloak.

The retail company rented the outfit to Universal in 1999 for The Mummy, but mostly it was rented to the general public. After the great discovery the costume was sold at an auction for £54,000 in 2007.
