George Lucas Goes Postal

Someone at the USPS must fancy the Star Wars movies as much as I do. First the R2-D2 mailboxes, now special edition Star Wars stamps. What next, the mailman dressing up as Obi-Wan Kenobi? Probably not.

The stamps are the real deal though. Look for the new 41 cent stamps to arrive at your local post office on May 25th. They will all come on a single sheet, with many of your favorite characters depicted. I'm not sure if these are the self-adhesive, or if you'll get to lick the back of Princess Leia.

Once you've gotten your hands on these stamps you can head over to the now-functional link uspsjedimaster.com and vote for your favorite stamp. The winning stamp will be re-issued by itself later in the year.
