About STAR WARS: The Last Jedi

The Star Wars series began in 1977 and so far there have been two trilogies of movies. December 2017 will see the theatrical release of the Episode 8 - The Last Jedi, which has been filmed at Pinewood Studios, Buckinghamshire, using British expertise in cast and crew, and the final further episode in this final trilogy will be filmed in the UK.

The new Star Wars film and the previous episodes were made with major British involvement at UK studios. The producers of the new movies decided to return to a British studio and crew whose expertise and professionalism contributed to the success of the earlier films.

Disney’s decision to base production in the UK is a major contributor to the British Film Industry. Not only is it providing employment and exposure for British acting talent, it also employs the British technical expertise of Pinewood studios from set design and cinematography to costume design. In the field of digital special effects, London is already a world centre, and the effects for the new Star Wars film have been created by the London office of Industrial Light and Magic (Lucasfilm’s effects company).

The UK is the third largest market in the world for the Star Wars films, and the new stamps both reflect the passion of the British public for the movies, and celebrate the major British contribution to the film series and the global success of the British film industry.

This product range has been produced with the genuine Star Wars Superfan in mind. Disney and Lucasfilm have been consulted at every opportunity, and the stamps and product range have been personally approved by Kathleen Kennedy – head of Lucas film and iconic film producer. As with the original Star Wars stamps issued in 2015, this range has been crafted by renowned British artist, Malcolm Tween, depicting these well-loved characters in exquisite detail, in compositions that are unique to these stamps.

Brilliantly rendered in exquisite detail by British Artist Malcolm Tween, these 8 stamps depict 8 of the most popular characters featured in the first 8 (Including The Last Jedi) iconic blockbuster films. One of the stamps (Porg) shows characters from the forthcoming ‘The Last Jedi’ Film. Incorporated into each stamp is a secondary character/scene forming unique images that can be found nowhere else.
