Today, the Univted State Post Office unvieled what pretty much everyone knew was coming;  a Star Wars themed stamp set to be put into circulation some time around May, near the time of Star Wars Celebration IV in Los Angeles. Coincidence, I think not.

Probably the most surprising news to me was that there will be a stamp honoring the brave troopers of the Empire.  I say I’m surprised because, let’s face it, we all thought it would be R2-D2, Darth Vader, and the other “face” characters from the War being honored.  It’s about time the Troopers got their due, but having the stamp is only a small part of it.

At the USPS Star Wars site, you can vote on which stamp you think is the best, and I think you all know how I voted, and I think you all want/need to go there now and vote likewise.  Let this year be the year of the Trooper!
