Star Wars, an American film series that started in the year 1977, is one of the most famous film series in the world. There are several fans across the world the fan base of this movie is growing pretty large. I used to watch these movies in awe and I still do. Honestly speak I prefer the original trilogy (Ep. IV, V, VI) compared to the second trilogy or the prequel (Ep I, II, III). With Ep. VII released in 2015, Royal Mail released a set of stamps based on the characters that appear in the new film series. That caught my attention and I being a Star Wars fan (not a huge one, although I may look huge!) and I bought the set. This is perhaps my first set of Star Wars stamps and this is now another of my favourite themes to collect!!
1. Great Britain (2015)
This set was released in 2015 as a part of the lineup of the new release Episode VII - The Force Awakens. The stamp set features all the main characters that feature in the new movie and also some of the favourite characters such as Dart Vader, Yoda, and The Emperor
2. Spain (2017)
This block is issued by Correos (Spain), released this fabulous stamp set printed with Lenticular technology, providing a greater depth of the image. the design consists of the characters from the film series : Stormtroopers (The Imperial Soldiers), Chewbacca, R2-D2, Yoda, C-3PO and and villian of the saga - Darth VBader (my favourite character).
As this is a Lenicular stamp, the scan image of the above is not that perfect. Sorry about that!
I do know that USA, Portugal, France, and UK (again in 2017) have released stamps on this theme. Looking at these stamps to enrich my thematic collection - Star Wars!!
