All Nippon Airlines (ANA) has unveiled a new ‘Star Wars’ livery on its latest Boeing 787-9 that marks the start of a five-year tie-up with The Walt Disney Company (Japan).

Painted with the iconic R2-D2 character, the plane’s design was unveiled to fans of the popular science fiction franchise in the United States on 16 April.

ANA says the ‘Star Wars’ painted aircraft will take to the skies in the third quarter of 2015, but the routes it will operate on have not yet been determined.

“We’re proud of the innovative R2-D2 design, and we look forward to witnessing the first-ever flight of a passenger aircraft featuring a Star Wars character. We’re confident that Star Wars fans around the world will absolutely love this design," says Kayleen Walters, vice president of marketing at Lucasfilm Ltd.

The launch of the Star Wars livery also follows ANA’s earlier announcement that it will a Tokyo Narita-Houston service from 12 June, making it the carrier’s tenth North American destination.

I don't even watch Star Wars but that paint scheme is sick. Might be the sexy curves of the airframe itself!

The -9 is a really nice looking airplane though, I must agree.

Lol, I don't see Star Trek getting the same treatment,

Star Wars for the win!

Suck it Trekkers or Trekkie's (or what ever the heck you people are calling yourselves these days).

Pretty sure I had a relative of Jabba working my flight a few weeks ago.

If Hooters had tried that they might still be an airline.

This does give me some amusing ideas...what if the Empire actually had a commercial 121-like operation? @Derg

I imagine their ASAP program would leave a lot to be desired....

Would you need to convert FAA certs to Empire Cert? Where do you do that?

Does the empire have a Frozen ATPL?

I see what you did there.

 

[deadstick]

Doesn't R2D2 short circuit and/or catch fire in every movie? Is that the best character for a 787?

Paint an x-wing down the side might be better?

No, they are back at the TSA checkpoint, running things.

If they do, I guarantee Frank Lorezno is running it.
