Here's yesterday's story on starwars.com
http://www.starwars.com/collecting/news/misc/news20070327.html
And a larger picture of the stamp:
Note the increased postage. But it looks like cool Drew artwork just like the re-release movie posters.
The rest of the stamps should be unveiled today and go on sale May 25th.
I was a little disappointed that they don't all match style artwork/wise, but they're still cool.

I wondered why I haven't gotten the reminder or couldn't find any info yet. The press release says they will be unveiled at 10:00 (PT) today in CA or 2-3 p.m. in D.C. (another press release). Also, the mailboxes are only out for 12 days according to this letter.

Yeah, we have to wait for the West Coast to catch up to us.
I didn't read that press release to say they were only going to be out for 12 days. It just says "For 12 days, R2-D2 has been waiting...". I suppose at this point he can stop waiting, but I haven't found anything to succinctly say when they will be disappearing.

Here's the article with nice big pictures of each stamp:
http://www.starwars.com/collecting/news/misc/news20070328.html
And here's the details on the voting:
www.starwars.com posted:
Of the 15 images on the Star Wars stamp sheet, the Postal Service is inviting the public to vote on its favorite. The stamp receiving the most votes will be honored with the issuance of a single stamp, which will be for sale later this summer.
Voting for the most popular Star Wars stamp will take place online at www.uspsjedimaster.com beginning today, March 28, through May 23. The winning stamp will be announced at the first-day-of-issue ceremony on May 25.
And this article also mentions how the R2-D2 collection boxes will only be out for a 2-week period. I'm so glad we got our picture taken already as we might not be able to this weekend. Although some places I've read say 3 weeks so we may have a little extra time.

I've been waiting for those stamps! I bought two of the sheets when they first came out, one to use and one to keep. It was really cool to see the unveiling of the stamp winner at C4, they did that at the Opening Ceremonies. Now I can send all my letters with Yoda stamps, too cool!

If you haven't gotten a Star Wars or Yoda stamp sheet yet, you may want to head out to your local postoffice and pick one up sooner rather than later. With the postage increase coming May 12th, I'm not sure if they're going to be printing these anymore.

They will not if I read it correctly in an Postal Bulletin we get at work.
Either that or it was a warning that you'll need $.01 stamps added with it.

Yeah, there is.
They should still have them as they came out after the sheets of multi stamps.
There was that contest to choose the favorite SW stamp and Yoda won so he got a stamp sheet of his own.

You only have a couple more days to get these!
I think they get rid of all the $0.41 stamps when the rates go up.
I picked up a few more sheets and some $0.01 ones to go with them.
Plus while you're there, pick up a book of the Forever Stamps while they're still $0.41 cents each 'cause you can still use them later as a $0.42 cent stamp.
