Why the stamp was issued: To commemorate the robot-like characters known as L3-37, one of the droids found in the Star Wars franchise.
About the stamp designs: Pictures the droid L3-37 in front of a background signifying an important moment from her time in the Star Wars franchise. Designed by Greg Breeding.
First Day City: The virtual First Day of Issue Ceremony was held on May 4th (celebrated as “May the 4th Be With You” by Star Wars fans) with First Day of Issue Postmark from Nicasio, California, the city which is home to Skywalker Ranch, home of Lucasfilm founder George Lucas.
About the Star Wars Droids set: Includes 10 stamps commemorating the robot-like characters known as droids who are found throughout the Star Wars franchise. Also indicate Disney and Lucasfilm’s promotion of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) learning and “Star Wars: Force for Change,” plus global nonprofit organization “FIRST” (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology).
History the stamp represents: Possibly the most self-aware droid in the Star Wars universe is L3-37. In fact, she built herself out of parts from different types of droids – astromech, protocol, espionage droid, and more. Because of this, and because of all she learned, L3-37 was a big advocate for droid rights.
L3-37 once said to Lando Calrissian, “Sure, some guy in a factory probably pieced me together originally, and someone else programmed me, so to speak. But then the galaxy itself forged me into who I am. Because we learn, Lando. We’re programmed to learn. Which means we grow. We grow away from that singular moment of creation, become something new with each changing moment of our lives – yes, lives – and look at me: these parts. I did this. So maybe when we say the Maker, we’re referring to the whole galaxy, or maybe we just mean ourselves. May’ve we’re our own makers, no matter who put the parts together.”
While some characters in the Star Wars universe do not believe droids deserve any rights because they are built and programmed by humans, L3-37 squashes all of their arguments. She proves that droids are capable of learning and growing just like humans are, and, therefore, deserve all the same rights and privileges. This lesson applies to the real world to all people, animals, and maybe someday, robots.
