The United States Postal Service has just teased 10 upcoming collectible stamps with the Star Wars franchise.

Celebrating the original film’s 50th anniversary, this stamp collection highlights the droids of Star Wars, and features IG-11, R2-D2, K-2SO, D-O, L3-37, BB-8, C-3PO, a GNK (or Gonk) power droid, 2-1B surgical droid and C1-10P, commonly known as “Chopper.”

Designed by Greg Breeding with William Gicker acting as the art director, the collection also brings awareness to Disney’s commitment to science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM), and is a continuation between “Star Wars: Force for Change” and pre-K-12 nonprofit organization FIRST.

Check out the stamps above and expect news to arrive shortly regarding a release date.
