USPS Jedimaster

MARCH 21, 2007  |  Dan and Chris visit the Jedimaster located at the corner of Bayard and Mott Streets, in Chinatown. Despite their enthusiasm, passers-by were generally apathetic (click to enlarge).

I mean, how fun and silly is this? In celebration of the 30th anniversary of Star Wars, not only is the Postal Service releasing SW-themed postage stamps, but they're scattering R2D2-decaled mailboxes on various corners in 200 cities throughout the country!

Dan learned about it from Gothamist a few days ago, and sure enough we had to make a pilgrimage. (Or, at least Dan did. I got a kick out of it though.)
