Star Wars Month at Avalon Mail Center

The Star Wars franchise originally debuted in 1977, and in May of 2021 the U.S Postal Service released their new Forever Stamps, Star Wars droid edition, depicting much beloved characters such as R2-D2, C3PO, and other droids featured in the films.

These stamps were created by Greg Breeding and designed by William Gicker. Their intention was to shed light on the unique influence that these intricate characters brought to the Star Wars franchise. These Forever Stamps will continue to carry out the memory of the Star Wars story with younger generations.

Many young people are unfamiliar with how to mail a letter. This younger generation appears to be unenthused by the many wonders of the U.S Postal Service, and all that it can provide. However, the creation of new Star Wars stamps may be just what we need in order to entice young people into the joys of mailing physical envelopes. Receiving an email simply does not bring the same amount of excitement as opening your mailbox and finding a physical card, especially one that features one of our many Star Wars Forever Stamps. The existence of Star Wars stamps can not only enhance the experience of receiving mail, but also that of sending it out. Upon finding Star Wars Forever Stamps at Avalon Mail Center, people become inspired to send out mail, causing them to reach out to friends and family with cards and letters, putting smiles on both the faces of the sender and the recipient.

When viewing the Star Wars Droid edition of Forever Stamps, we are able to become inspired by the lessons we have learned from our Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program. Receiving mail featuring Star Wars stamps may serve as an inspiration to many young students to embrace technology and encourage innovation.

If you are a Star Wars fan, don’t miss out on this opportunity to add these 2021 limited edition Star Wars droid stamps to your collection. These limited editions are available at Avalon Mail Center, right here at Avalon Park. Even if you are not an avid Star Wars fan, mailing a Star Wars stamped envelope to a young loved one can bring a smile and perhaps even a new generation of innovators.
