R2-D2 Mailboxes Handle Mail, Won’t Store Lightsabers

In the crossover we’ve all be waiting for, the US Postal service is teaming up with Star Wars, doing everything in their power to put an R2-D2 unit on every street corner. They even have a website.

The website doesn’t have much on it yet, aside from a brief clip from Star Wars, but the one thing they do mention is that March 28th is the date to watch. Not for the arrival of the mailboxes – they’re already everywhere. What the date celebrates is new Star Wars stamps, which in turn celebrate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars.
