I'm going to get some of these when they come out!

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The U.S. Postal Service turned to the characters of "Star Wars" for inspiration on

Wednesday as it unveiled 15 new first-class stamps featuring the whole gang from Chewbacca to Darth Vader.

The stamps were unveiled at Grauman's Chinese theater in Hollywood where the original "Star Wars" movie opened 30 years ago. The stamps will go on sale on May 25, after a contest to choose the most popular of the stamps.

Among the "Star Wars" characters depicted on the stamps are Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Yoda, Darth Vader, R2-D2, C-3PO, Princess Leia, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Boba Fett.

The images are from all six "Star Wars" films and David Failor, executive director of stamp services for the U.S. Postal Service, said, "Because of the movies' popularity, we believe these stamps have the popularity of reaching the blockbuster status of the Elvis stamp."

Earlier in the month to publicize the new stamps, about 400 mailboxes around the country were designed to look like R2-D2.

I am definitely going to buy those!  As overblown as "Star Wars" is in our culture, there's a very good reason for it - it's just that awesome!

I like that series too! The boy never did get into them when he was young, but is more interested now. Classic!

I've never been one to buy special stamp releases, but for some reason I'm very interested in buying these.

It's even odder because when Star Wars was popular I was CRAZY about it.  I remember every time I saw the movies in the theaters.  Yet, as an adult I have no interest in seeing them again or in owning them (I don't have any of the movies on DVD).

So why do I find the stamps alluring?!?

I don't collect stamps though, I buy them to use them. I like using something different than the flag or whatever the standard is right now.

Uh-oh, Riggs.  I think by "bowing" she means she was bending over in a kiss-my-ass fashion.  Oohh-- FIGHT!  FIGHT!
