Star Wars heros to appear on U.S. stamps · 2007-03-29 13:14
Princess Leia, Darth Vader and Han Solo and other “Star Wars” heroes are starring in a new collection of stamps.
The US Postal Service launched the stamps to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the epic film, that was screened on May 25, 1977.
The collection of 15 stamps include scenes from all six movies of the series.
USPS Stamp Services director David Failor said he believed the stamps could be as popular as the Elvis Presley stamps issued in 1993 honoring the “King of Rock and Roll.”
“We believe these stamps have the potential of reaching the blockbuster status of the Elvis stamp, a milestone only the ‘Force’ could attempt to surpass,” he said.
