The winning stamp will be announced at the first-day-of-issue ceremony on May 25.

 Loyal to the Emperor, stormtroopers maintain order and instill fear throughout the Empire. From scalding desert to snow-swept plains, they are trained to serve in many different environments. 
 | A member of the Jedi Council, this Jedi Master's small stature did not indicate his prowess in battle. Revered for his knowledge of the Force, Yoda trained Luke Skywalker while in exile on Dagobah. | 
 The symbol of the Rebellion's starfighter corps, the rugged X-wing fighter was a key weapon against the Empire. 
 | A legendary Jedi Master, Obi-Wan Kenobi went into hiding on Tatooine when the Empire came to power. He would later train Luke Skywalker in the ways of the Force, shaping the fate of an entire galaxy. | 
 | Known for his translating skills and ability to calculate dire odds, C-3PO was built by young Anakin Skywalker. The droid was part of the inner circle that brought down the Empire. | 
 | Born Anakin Skywalker, some thought him to be the Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force. Seduced by the dark side, he became Darth Vader, a Dark Lord of the Sith and one of the Emperor's most trusted servants. | 
 | From a simple farm boy on Tatooine to a Jedi responsible for bringing down the Empire, Luke Skywalker is legend in the Star Wars saga. | 
 In this classic moment, Princess Leia hides the vital plans for the Death Star in the memory system of the spunky astromech droid, R2-D2. 
 They began as common smugglers and became Rebellion heroes. Captain Han Solo and his Millennium Falcon copilot Chewbacca helped rescue Princess Leia and destroy the first Death Star. 
 Under the guise of Palpatine, Darth Sidious used the dark side of the Force to become supreme Emperor of the Galactic Empire. |

With the release of the Star Wars souvenir sheet last May, customers were asked to vote for their favorite Star Wars stamp. Jedi Master Yoda won the vote and is now featured on his own pane of 20 stamps.
Stamp Description:
The Star Wars Saga souvenir sheet features artwork by longtime Star Wars poster artist Drew Struzan.
The sheet includes fifteen first-class stamps that show familiar characters and vehicles from the six movies in the saga: Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and Chewbacca, Princess Leia Organa and R2-D2, C-3PO, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Emperor Palpatine, stormtroopers, Boba Fett, the Millennium Falcon, an X-wing starfighter, Queen Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker, and Darth Maul.
The selvage includes the Star Wars logo and background images of a space battle, including a Star Destroyer, TIE fighters, X-wing starfighters, and the second Death Star as shown under construction in Star Wars: Episode VI Return of the Jedi. The background also includes the lightsaber-wielding form of Darth Vader, whose helmet comprises the largest of the fifteen stamps.
The back of the souvenir sheet includes extensive verso text describing the dramatic roles that each featured character or vehicle plays in the Star Wars Saga.
