Star Wars fans will soon be able to buy commemorative notes celebrating the launch of The Last Jedi.
Collectors will need to head to eBay to be in with a chance of buying one of the 1,000 notes, which will retail at £100 from the Star Wars shop.
A further 50 unique “premium” notes will also be up for auction.

The latest instalment in the Star Wars saga, The Last Jedi, will be released in UK cinemas on December 14.
It is officially the longest ever Star Wars film, clocking in at just over two-and-a-half hours.
The collectors’ notes, which are not legal tender, have several special features, including hidden images visible under UV light, emblems of the First Order and the Resistance, and the signature of writer and director Rian Johnson.

All the money raised from the notes will be donated to Together For Short Lives, a UK-based charity that supports children’s hospices.
The sale is part of an initiative between Disney and the Government’s “GREAT Britain campaign”.
Fans will be able to buy the collectors’ items, made by banknote manufacturer De La Rue, on December 7 at 8pm at www.ebay.co.uk/starwars.
The premium notes will go up for auction at the same time for 10 days.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
