The US Postal Service will celebrate the androids of Star Wars this year!

R2-D2 once delivered the Death Star’s plans to the Rebellion; soon, the brave astromec – and nine others Star Wars droids – will help your email reach its destination as well.
The US Postal Service today announced a new series of Star Wars stamps, all dedicated to our favorite galactic droids. Designed by Greg Breeding with William Gicker acting as art director, the collection will be available on a panel of 20 film and animation stamps and droids, including IG-11, R2-D2, K-2SO, DO, L3-37, BB -8, C-3PO, a Gonk android, surgical android 2-1B and Chopper. Look for these droid-tastic stamps to arrive in the spring of 2021 and check them out below!
These androids are a tribute to Lucasfilm, as well as its parent company, Disney, its commitment to learning science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) and ongoing collaboration between Star Wars: Force for Change and a global pre-high school nonprofit FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).
Star Wars: Force for Change and FIRST have joined forces to expand access to STEM learning to more young people around the world and to help them imagine a brighter and more inclusive future.
