This question has now been the subject of enough good conversations that I've decided to post about it

I suggested a sword for a six-fingered man, but though that'd be a cool thing, it doesn't have a lot of appeal for me personally.

Kaylee's umbrella.

The little levitating spherical zap-beam gadget that helped Luke get his first taste of using the force.

The Hitch Hiker's Guide, from either the TV series or the movie.

Doctor Horrible's freeze ray or death ray. (I could probably do up a version of the bar of gold after the transmatter ray pretty easily.)

It isnt the actual prop, but I discovered much to my delight that the tablet computer I bought on Ebay for Xmas is the exact same model as the prop tablet commonly used in the Stargate Atlantis series (Motion Computing M1400). They use them as props, but for all purposes they are also working models.

I checked my email on mine before getting out of bed. It travels with me now.

Leia in her gold bikini.

She'd fit on the coffee table I think. :-)

Women are never props! Bad t! No cookie.

The NeverEnding Story book from the 1st movie. Big, hard-cover bound with an Auryn on the cover and everything.

Coming late to this post!

I'm thinking costume as well, and for me it would probably be Athena's Colonial uniform from the original Battlestar Galactica. I was about ten when that show was on, and she was my role model. None of that Cassiopeia being a nurse (after her socialator days!); I wanted to be a Colonial warrior too!

I commissioned an artist to draw a portrait of her, which he has showing on his website along with all his sketch chase cards he's done for the trading card companies: http://www.seanpatrickpence.com/2007/links/MarenJensen_Athena.html
