The Star Wars Droid Postage Stamp Series has been created by Disney in collaboration with the USPS to offer avid fans of the franchise with a way to enhance their mail or grow their collection of memorabilia.
The stamps are, as the name of the collection denotes, themed with some of the most recognizable droids from the world of Star Wars. This includes the quintessential C-3PO and R2-D2, but also BB-8, K-2SO, D-O, L3-37, IG-11, the GNK droid, C1-10P (Chopper) and the 2-1B surgical droid. Each one of the droids is positioned on its own stamp in one of two shape sizes, depending on the height of the robotic character.
The Star Wars Droid Postage Stamp Series from the USPS will be launching in spring 2021.
