Votes for Yoda, America Does

The votes are in, and Americans have made their choice for which Star Wars character they'd most like to see on his or her own stamp:

That's right, it's 900-year-old Jedi Master Yoda. Tomorrow, the Postal Service will unveil a set of 20 Yoda stamps at the Fall Postage Stamp Mega-Event at New York's Madison Square Garden. And "since this 10 a.m. event is just six days before Halloween, stamp enthusiasts Star Wars fans alike are encouraged to dress up as their favorite character from the Star Wars saga," USPS says.

Tomorrow also marks the day that USPS will begin taking down the special R2D2-styled mailboxes that have dotted street corners since the Star Wars-based postal campaign began in March. Those boxes will be moved to overseas military bases.
