I found <a href="http://flickr.com/photos/bubblestar/442250144/" rel="nofollow">a picture</a> of that on Flickr although one with a bit more of the area would be nice. A friend of mine works half a block away, I'll ask him to take some photos. Flickr has <a href="http://flickr.com/search/?q=r2d2%20mailbox&w=all" rel="nofollow">a nice collection</a> in general.

That faith would, of course, be smashed if any characters from the prequel trilogy won.

Those who believe that Darth Maul is a genuine Star Wars character must also believe that Jar-Jar Binks is a genuine Star Wars character, and they therefore evince a lack of faith I find... well, you know.
