R2-D2, Where are you?



Some of you may have seen the USPS blue mail boxes decorated to look like R2-D2 from Star Wars. They were promoting the 30th anniversary of the first Star Wars film as well as the new Star Wars stamps. I've seen several of the boxes around Los Angeles: in Hollywood and downtown in front of the Walt Disney Concert Hall.



There was also one near my school at UCLA. I had one of my students take my picture with "R2" and I'm so glad I did because the next day, R2 was gone! He was only there for a couple of days. I'm not sure if the post office moved that box or if someone stole him. What a cool collector's item, eh?
