"A long, long time ago in a post office far, far away," proclaims the R2D2 postmaster start of the Stefan Van Zoggel Star Wars Stamps. The UK-based artist has created a line of stamps for intergalatic travellers. The series features some great visual landscapes from the movie series. Whether you want a Naboo or Coruscant, fans will surely appreciate the detail of the stamps.
Each stamp is valued according to the Galactic Credit Standard. Van Zoggel creates a vintage feel for the postage using a charming color palette that makes them almost believable collectible relics of snail mail -- sadly, you would have to be a member of the Galatic Empire to be able to get any real use out of these stamps.
