Ten new Star Wars stamps featuring droids from Lucasfilm and Disney's popular space opera franchise are coming to the US sometime this Spring.
The United States Postal Service (USPS) has revealed the stamps that features IG-11, R2-D2, K-2SO, D-O, L3-37, BB-8, C-3PO, a GNK (or Gonk) power droid, 2-1B surgical droid and C1-10P, commonly known as "Chopper," each with backgrounds representing seettings of memorable locations in the Star Wars universe.
"These sets of droids are a nod to Lucasfilm's, as well as its parent company, Disney's, commitment to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning and the continued collaboration between 'Star Wars: Force for Change' and global pre-K-12 nonprofit organization 'First' (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology)," USPS said in the announcement.
Based on the images revealed in the announcement, it looks like all 10 stamps will be available on a single sheet or doubled for a total of 20 stamps — two of each droid — on a single pane.
The USPS hasn't revealed the price and release date of these stamps, but it said that additional details about the new Star Wars stamps, including the isssue date, will be revealed later this year. According to the announcement, the stamps are coming in Spring 2021 so it's likely that the USPS will reveal more details in the next few weeks.
