Royal Mail to issue Star Wars stamps
Posted 09 October 2015   | 0 views
Royal Mail has announced that it will issue a set of 18 Special Stamps to celebrate the Star Wars series of films and mark the release of the forthcoming episode, Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
The stamps, illustrated by British artist Malcolm Tween, depict nine iconic characters from the first six films and three from the forthcoming film: Rey, Finn and Kylo Ren. Incorporated onto each stamp is a secondary scene or character including new droid BB-8, illustrated by Tween especially for the stamps.
In addition, the ‘1ST’ font used in the ‘1ST’ value of the stamps will replicate that of the iconic typeface used for the films.
The Star Wars 'vehicles' miniature sheet
Also being issued on 20 October will be a Miniature Sheet of six stamps featuring intricately detailed illustrations of
six iconic Star Wars vehicles
, brought together against a backdrop of the dreaded Death Star.
The Star Wars series began in 1977. So far, there have been two trilogies of movies that have included major British involvement at UK studios.
17 December 2015 will see the UK theatrical release of the latest instalment in the Star Wars saga,
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
, which has been filmed at Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, using British expertise in cast and crew. The two further episodes in this trilogy will also be filmed in the UK.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
will reunite the three principal actors from the original trilogy as well as the robots R2-D2 and C-3PO. New characters Rey and Finn will be played by British actors Daisy Ridley and John Boyega respectively, with additional British cast members including Gwendoline Christie and Andy Serkis.
According to Royal Mail:
'Disney’s decision to base production in the UK is a major contributor to the British film industry.
'Not only is it providing employment and exposure for British acting talent, it also employs the British technical expertise in set design, cinematography, and costume design at Pinewood Studios.
'In the field of digital special effects, London is already a world centre, and the effects for the new Star Wars film have been created by the London office of Industrial Light & Magic (Lucasfilm’s special effects company).'
