R2-D2 mailbox

R2-D2 mailboxJust when I thought the Star Wars madness should have been coming to an end, I saw this on Yahoo! Photos today. That’s right: the US Postal Service will be covering their blue mailboxes in around 200 cities with R2-D2 "skins" to commemorate the 30th anniversary of Star Wars.

In the photo you can see the URL uspsjedimaster.com scrawled on the sides of the mailbox. If you go to that site now, you will see a teaser with footage from Star Wars. In it, an envelope is inserted into R2. I’m not crazy enough for Star Wars to know if that is new footage, but I’m guessing it is. Then the trailer ends with these words: ON MARCH 28 TWO POWERFUL FORCES WILL UNITE. According to this AP article, on March 28 a commemorative Star Wars stamp will be released. The article also says not to tamper with the R2-D2 mailbox if you come across one; it is a crime to do so.
