Bidding will start at 100-dollars for each plate, with proceeds going to the Colorado Disability Funding Committee.

Bids will be accepted at 8 a.m. on Thursday, and the auction will close at 7 p.m. next Thursday.

Here are the choices:

  • AKBAR
  • ANAKIN
  • BOBA
  • CHEWY
  • FETT
  • MAY4TH
  • MRVADER
  • MYXWING
  • OB1WAN
