• R2-D2 coming to a mailbox near you

  Calling all Star Wars fans: The force is definitely with you.

  To commemorate the 30-year anniversary of Star Wars, Lucasfilm and the US Postal Service have collaborated on a special project. Four hundred mailboxes in 200 cities across the nation will be dressed up to look like the loveable little R2-D2.

  As you can see, Star Wars diehards are already taking advantage of the R2-D2 mailboxes for photo ops. One dedicated fan site, TheForce.net has even created an interactive map, and is encouraging fans to write in and help chart the location of all the mailboxes across the country.

  This campaign is a teaser for a new stamp that will be announced on March 28.
