The Star Wars Saga Stamp Sheet

The United States Star Wars souvenir stamp sheet was issued on May 25, 2007. It features some of the most popular characters and vehicles in the saga. The fifteen first class stamps feature: Darth Vader, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo and Chewbacca, Anakin Skywalker who is fighting Obi-Wan Kenobi, Queen Padme Amidala, Luke Skywalker, Princess leia Organa with the cute R2-D2, Emperor Palpatine, Darth Maul, Imperial Stormtroopers, Boba Fett, C-3PO
and The Millennium Falcon and X-wing fighter.

Due to the popularity of the movies, these stamps are sure to be some of the best selling stamps of all time from both collectors and non-collectors worldwide. Before the stamps release date, the United States Postal Service decorated 400 mailboxes perfectly to look like one of the most popular characters, R2-D2.

The images on the stamps were painted by Star Wars poster artist Drew Struzan. The stamp sheet was designed to include the Star Wars logo. The background comprises a space battle scene which includes a Star Destroyer, TIE Fighters, X-Wing fighters. There is a light saber wielding form of Darth Vader. The background also depicts the second Death Star, under construction, as it was seen in Return of the Jedi. The Darth Vader helmet is the largest
of all of the 15 stamps.

On the back of the sheet, there is extensive wording describing the roles that each vehicle or character had in the six movies.
