PICTURE OF THE WEEK: In the Lead Yoda Is!
In the Lead, Yoda Is!
The light side and the
dark side are battling for honors in the race to become America's favorite
Star Wars stamp.
After two weeks of voting, Yoda is in the lead -- but Darth Vader is
menacingly lurking close by. Now, voting is easier than ever! Fans no
longer have to wait for a confirmation e-mail, once an e-mail address has
been entered the vote is cast. The site has even added an option to receive
a reminder to vote the next day.
Voting continues through May 23 on http://www.uspsjedimaster.com . The
winning stamp will be announced at the first-day-of-issue ceremony of the
Star Wars stamp sheet on May 25 during Star Wars Celebration IV in Los
Angeles.
The commemorative stamps feature images from all six movies in the Star
Wars saga: Luke Skywalker; Han Solo and Chewbacca; Princess Leia Organa
with R2-D2; C-3PO; Yoda; Queen Padme Amidala; Obi-Wan Kenobi as seen in
Episodes IV through VI; Anakin Skywalker battling Obi-Wan Kenobi; Darth
Vader; Emperor Palpatine; Darth Maul; Imperial Stormtroopers; Boba Fett;
the Millennium Falcon; and an X-wing fighter. Which one is your favorite?
Of the 15 images on the Star Wars stamp sheet, the Postal Service has
invited 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.
Check http://www.uspsjedimaster.com for regular updates on voting --
it's up to America to choose which Star Wars stamp wins the honor of a
single-stamp sheet release.
