R2D2 Mailbox
Speaking of R2D2, I ran across this R2-D2 mailbox on 6th ave, I think at about 50th st. I assume it’s for the new commemorative stamps. Looks perfect for mailing Death Star plans.
On an editorial note, I think long after people forget all about Jedi and Sith and Anakin and Yoda, they’ll probably remember the R2D2 design. Smeared with dirt, slightly broken down, but lively and determined, R2D2 is a shorthand for the look and feel of the original movie, romantic and dystopian in contrast to earlier science fiction’s utopian modernism. The Millenium Falcon’s pretty cool too.
