Any spottings in your town?

I confess that I have only seen the original Star Wars movie, so forgive my ignorance – I don’t know the story behind these mailboxes! Comments please!

    Hmmm – maybe there is a new Star Wars stamp set coming out? I’d buy them. ;-)

    I guess it’s for mailing to C3 P.O. Box numbers. I wonder if it makes that bleeping sound when you open it?

    I vote that they make the postal employees dress up like Jedi’s.

    I believe gizmodo had the story for these a while ago–something like it being star wars’s 30th anniversary, or something =)

    30th anniversary… that makes sense!

    May 25th 1977 was the release date of Star Wars, Episode IV, A New Hope. What is the significance of March 28th for the Post Office?
