They had a segment on the local news here a couple weeks ago when they installed the R2-D2 mailboxes in San Francisco. A bunch of Star Wars nerds in costume hanging around a street corner looking at a mailbox. Yeah. So I know they have one up in SF but I haven't seen them down here yet.

Don't they usually only put dead people on stamps? Or do they make exceptions for fictional characters? Alec Guinness should be double safe then. He was British too. Do they normally but foreigners on US stamps? Hmmm...

Ooh, that is one kick-ass express mail Obi envelope! *drools*

However, about the stamps...I voted for the Luke stamp. *sheepish grin* Sorry, tg! I love Obi and was all set to vote for him, and then I saw Luke staring at the binary sunset with that wistful longing expression and cute farmboy looks and I went all swoony and remembered why he was my first fangirl crush ever, and I just couldn't resist. I also loved the Leia/R2, Obi, Yoda, and Milennium Falcon stamps, and I really can't wait to run out and buy a couple books of these stamps to use!

Thanks for the link! I wasn't aware that these were coming out at all.

Oohh I'm glad I could inform you! (tg, writing from work again without signing in) Aren't they just gorgeous?

I voted for the Luke stamp. *sheepish grin* Sorry, tg!
Don't be sorry! You can vote once a day, apparently. I voted for young Obi/Ani yesterday, but the Luke/sunset one is DEFINITELY my second favorite, hands down. And SUCH a classic image! I will definitely be throwing a few votes that way as well. I loved the Leia/R2D2, Han/Chewie, Yoda, and older Obi ones, also... though I have a feeling Vader will win no matter what (which isn't very fitting).

I'll definitely be buying a few sheets of these stamps. I'd like to frame a sheet along with the sheet of muppet stamps I bought, actually.
