Japan carrier All Nippon Airways (ANA) has launched a five-year “Star Wars Project” that includes a new Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner painted with an R2-D2 livery, proving yet again that the astromech droid does indeed have the ability to take flight.
The “Star Wars” themed plane is due to start flying international routes this fall, says the airline.
The “Star Wars Project” includes a special ANA website that plays the iconic theme song and features videos and photos of the plane.
