Postmark Pursuit by Molly Goad

The United States Postal Service releases its Star Wars Droids stamps May 4, and a corresponding pictorial postmark is available from multiple cities in Arizona and New Mexico the following day.

The 10 nondenominated (55¢) forever stamps include images of the beloved robots IG-11, R2-D2, K-2SO, D-O, L3-37, BB-8, C-3PO, a GNK (or Gonk) power droid, 2-1B surgical droid and C1-10P, commonly known as “Chopper.”

Lucasfilm, the studio that created the Star Wars franchise, is celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2021.

The cancels are available for 60 days. Collectors can choose to obtain one or all by addressing requests to:
