Planet Posters

I owe my finding of these fantastic Star Wars planet “poster” graphics to my friend Lexa (who makes me look like I have merely a casual interest in the Star Wars universe. Which, uh… is really not the case!!) I dearly hope justinvg gets these made as actual posters; they’d go so well with the IYA 2009 posters which I long to own.

UPDATE: Posters available here!!

I love Star Wars, so naturally this Flickr set of poster and wallpaper-quality pictures thrilled me to bits. (Not that I want the Imperial forces to invade San Francisco, of course… but the imagery is pretty darn awesome, I have to admit.) Get the whole set here!

Science fiction takes US stamps by storm(troopers)

Star Wars series of USPS stamps

Okay, I’ve tried my best to have science fiction posts be a vast minority here at Themes, but I’m sorry, I’m a huge Star Wars fan, and the upcoming release of these stamps almost makes up for the fact that postage is going up another two cents. Allllmost. (Press release is here.)

Seriously though, franchises, science fiction ones in particular, very rarely make it so far as to appear on United States postage. One might even go so far to say that, because of this governmental recognition, the holy war is settled once and for all…?

“Star Wars fans everywhere will delight in the issuance of these exciting new postage stamps,” said David Failor, executive director of Stamp Services, U.S. Postal Service, who hosted the stamp preview. “Because of the movies’ popularity, we believe these stamps have the potential of reaching the blockbuster status of the Elvis stamp, a milestone only the Force could attempt to surpass.”

I need not argue in the stamps’ favor here, because all questions of coolness lie answered by the following, Exhibit A:
