Star Wars Stamps

Star Wars Stamps

To commemorate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, George Lucas teamed up with the United States Postal Services (USPS) to release 15 new 41-cent commemorative stamps. The stamps have images from all six Star Wars movies and will be released on May 25 during the Star Wars Celebration IV at Los Angeles.

USPS is also holding a vote for the public to choose their favorite stamp out of the 15 choices. The winning stamp will be released with its own stamp sheet. If you guys are interested in voting for the Chosen One here is the link:

I personally like the one with Luke Skywalker standing outside of his uncle's house with the background image of two suns. When I look at that image it always brings me back to that time when me and my cousins first watched the Star Wars Movie back home in the Philippines. All of us young'uns were herded into one house to watch movies in the afternoon to get us out of the heat while the teenagers went out and hung out with their buddies. We were all so amazed, at least that's the case with me. I was so fascinated about the visual effects and the storyline! Makes you really wonder whether when will get to that point in time when we can actually have or interstellar or intergalactic travel.

I also liked the Darth Vader stamp. After all when you hear Star Wars, the first thing everyone thinks about would be the ominous sound of Darth Vader's breathing. Really!!

I think the stamps are really cool, unfortunately it is only released in the States. I don't think Canada Post will come up with this same thing.
