LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The U.S. Postal Service turned to the characters of "Star Wars" for inspiration on Wednesday as it unveiled 15 new first-class stamps featuring the whole gang from Chewbacca to Darth Vader.

The stamps were unveiled at Grauman's Chinese theater in Hollywood where the original "Star Wars" movie opened 30 years ago. The stamps will go on sale on May 25, after a contest to choose the most popular of the stamps.

Among the "Star Wars" characters depicted on the stamps are Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Darth Vader, R2-D2, C-3PO, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi

and Boba Fett.

The images are from all six "Star Wars" films and David Failor, executive director of stamp services for the U.S. Postal Service, said, "Because of the movies' popularity, we believe these stamps have the popularity of reaching the blockbuster status of the Elvis stamp."

Earlier in the month to publicize the new stamps, about 400 mailboxes around the country were designed to look like R2-D2.

It's not enough that grown men play with Star Wars toys, err I mean collect, that they are now going to start collecting stamps also. Where the hell do they put all this stuff?

**Thender** · 03-29-2007

In the Melineum Falcon of course!

Flounder · 03-29-2007

Don't these geeks have anything better to do like drinking beer with their buddies & getting laid? Well, I guess if they weren't geeks they would. I'm willing to bet that all they do is play with each other, play with each others toys that is, and talk about their buddie's cool new dragon t-shirt. Drinking beer and getting laid probably never enters their thought process. Dumbasses.

Do you use your light saber?

...for Empire City people: did anyone venture to see the R2D2 mailbox in Omaha?

I was just curious; I haven't and won't, but thought perhaps someone here had seen it. Not sure where, but I think its location is in another thread...

**Bud** · 03-30-2007

I think I heard it is on Dodge Street near the Dundee area.

one can only hope....

if life revolved around "getting laid" and "drinking beer" ...a poor Jedi would he be....

Some of us Jedi masters drink beer while getting laid, then when she falls asleep from pure ecstasy, we send Darth Vadar down the crack of Heranus!

Flounder · 03-31-2007

Sounds like a dark and lonely place.
