Cathy took this picture in downtown Indianapolis. I don't think any of these R2D2 mail boxes are going to make it to Bloomington, unfortunately. They're part of the new joint venture between George Lucas' Star Wars franchise and the USPS. Also, starting April 25, 15 new star Wars Stamps are going to be released, with the new 41 cent price tag. Maybe they thought people could swallow the high stamp prices if they put some beloved characters on them. Regardless, here's the list of the stamps, available as a single $6.15 pane:

  • Darth Vader
  • Yoda
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi
  • Han Solo and Chewbacca
  • Anakin Skywalker fighting Obi-Wan Kenobi
  • Queen Padme Amidala
  • Luke Skywalker
  • Princess Leia Organa with R2-D2
  • Emperor Palpatine
  • Darth Maul
  • Imperial Stormtroopers
  • Boba Fett
  • The Millennium Falcon
  • X-wing fighter
  • C-3PO
