RIP Jane Goodall

Screenshot of a Facebook post from NPR talkng about Darth Vader's lightsaber going on auction. I replied "Someone's gonna pay $3 million for this and it probably doesn't even work", to which some replied "Of course it don't work, it's a movie prop. The light and the sounds were edited in." to which I replied with a GIF of Seth Meyers saying "This close."
