In 2021, the U.S. Postal Service — inspired by a galaxy far, far away — celebrated these wondrous creations with a pane of 20 stamps featuring 10 favorite droids.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGrouped in four rows of five, the stamps vary in height to best suit the proportions of each droid. Individual characters are set against soft-focus backgrounds that evoke settings of memorable adventures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOn the first and third rows are: IG-11, a dangerous bounty hunter turned protective guardian; R2-D2, a brave and gifted “astromech” (mechanic–navigator), who, partnered with C-3PO, routinely saves the galaxy; the towering K-2SO, a glitchy, cynical, semi-obedient droid reprogrammed to assist the rebels; D-O, a tiny character who emulates BB-8, who rescued the excitable droid from longtime neglect; and L3-37, an outspoken combination astromech–protocol droid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe second and fourth rows feature: spherical BB-8, a brilliant, childlike astromech and a fan favorite; C-3PO, a worry-prone protocol droid — a diplomat conversant in millions of languages; a Gonk droid, a vital walking battery working to provide power to the highly mechanized galaxy; a 2-1B-series medical droid, which tends to the galaxy’s diverse “biologicals”; and Chopper (C1-10P), a grumpy old droid and an essential crewmember of the\u003cem\u003e Ghost,\u003c\/em\u003e a rebel starship. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMoviegoers were first immersed in the \u003cem\u003eStar Wars\u003cspan class=\"legal-mark\"\u003e™\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e galaxy in 1977.

Aside from the awe-inspiring designs of the droids, much of their appeal derives from their relatability as characters.
