In honor of the seventh Star Wars film being released later this year, Britain’s Royal Mail unveiled its Star Wars stamps. This unique limited-edition postage stamp collection will honor characters such as Yoda, Obi Yan Kenobi and Princess Leia.
The collection is set to honor characters from across the entire galactic series and will not strictly focus on the newest film. By incorporating a larger roster of character, the collection allows fans to show their love for nostalgic characters as well.
These Star Wars stamps are a creative way to honor the sci-fi franchise's immense popularity and build up anticipation for 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens.' The stamps are available for pre-order now and are set to be released on October 20, 2015.
