2019 - The Rise of Skywalker

Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker

Royal Mail issued its third and final stamp issue celebrating the phenomenon of Star Wars on 26.11.2019.
This new set of stamps features characters and iconic vehicles from the film series, in time for the release of
the final installment of the Skywalker saga; Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, released in UK cinemas on 19th
December 2019.
The original trilogy of films (released between 1977 and 1983) was made at Elstree and Shepperton Studios in
the UK. The producers of the series, Lucasfilm and Disney, decided to return to a British studio and crew whose
expertise contributed to the success of the original movies. The final trilogy of movies has been filmed at Pinewood
Studios, Buckinghamshire and the stamps celebrate the British contribution to Star Wars, and mark the world
event of the release of the concluding episode and culmination of the Skywalker saga.
This new set of 10 characters complete the 30 stamp Star Wars collection from across all three epic trilogies.
All 10 characters are original, exclusive illustrations by digital artist and Star Wars fan Malcolm Tween who has
blended the main images with background scenes to create striking and hyper-realistic montages.
The set includes much-loved characters from the original trilogy such as Wicket Ewok and Lando Calrissian but
also introduces three brand-new characters from the latest blockbuster: The Rise of Skywalker
