It's Official: USPS to promote STAR WARS!

[IrishJedi]

R2-D2 Mailboxes, Stamps and more coming starting 3/28:

WASHINGTON, D.C. & SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Tomorrow morning in neighborhoods and street corners not so far, far away, hundreds of official U.S. Postal Service blue collection boxes will be transformed into look-alikes of Star Wars character R2-D2 to promote an exciting new adventure on which the Postal Service is embarking with Lucasfilm Ltd.

As the legion of Star Wars fans around the world first learned 30 years ago, R2-D2 is the feisty astromech droid who embodies the trust and dependability for which the Postal Service is so renowned.

The R2-D2 collection boxes will temporarily replace boxes in highly visible locations across the country. Customers can, of course, drop mail into them just like any other of the 280,000 collection boxes, but there’s a striking difference visually: Not only do the R2-D2 boxes look like the ever-popuar Star Wars character, they feature the address of a website that gives clues about the real meaning behind this unprecedented promotion — uspsjedimaster.com.

More details about the promotion will be announced March 28. Look for the R2-D2 mailbox near you… until then, “May the Force be with you.”

That's a federal offense, son. I doubt even Sansweet would go there.

It certainly is, WAY worse than stealing a Sponge Bob from BK.

Star Wars Overkill 2007 continues!

 

[Darth Loki]

Star Wars Overkill 2007 continues!

Kick ass!!!

 

[IrishJedi]

Star Wars Overkill 2007 continues!

Yeah, it's beyond nutty. But you know you'll be paying your bills with your SW checks, putting SW postage on them, and mailing them in R2 mailboxes before you even realize the absurdity of it all.

 

[Boba Fett]

And I for one, look forward to that.

It's okay, I'll put all the mail in another box before I take it home!

 

[Darthrazz]

Sweet, I'm stealing an R2 Mailbox!!

Yeah, Ummm...you know that someone WILL steal one, so I suggest mailing your bills using the letter slot INSIDE the Post Office itself, unless you want someone running off with an R2 full of bills!


WE actually had some punks throwing lit matches in mailboxes in my town burning up everything inside, I wouldn't put anything past anyone anymore.

 

[The ill Jedi]

That's gonna look nice in my house!

 

[Darthrazz]

That's gonna look nice in my house!

Make sure that you mail the contents out...or maybe it'll be more of a collector's item with original mail and star wars postage on them!!

 

[The ill Jedi]

Yeah, Ummm...you know that someone WILL steal one...

Of course you know I'm only kidding...or am I?

Make sure that you mail the contents out...or maybe it'll be more of a collector's item with original mail and star wars postage on them!!

I already said I would!!

It's okay, I'll put all the mail in another box before I take it home!

 

[Darth Loki]

EHH, I'm waiting for the USPS truck made up to look like Slave 1

Uh-Oh, I think I'm going to revert to my kleptomaniac phase 'cause of this! J/K

Can I ride shotgun?

Opposite to my mail comment, we will OPEN all the UPS packages!!!!!!:chew

 

[Darth Waller]

The USPS could generate some serious money for charity if they auctioned off a very limited run of these (50-100) with GL's signature.

Hop in! Just don't touch the radio and I get first dibs on packages!!

I hear that every town that is getting one of these will be putting a policeman in full Boba Fett attire next to them so that punks like you guys will get your butts fried while trying to thug one.

I'll whoop his ass, take his 'attire' and drive around in my 'USPS Slave One' with Darthrazz opening up stuff that ain't ours!
