| New R2-D2 and BB-8 Planes |
From CNN:
In the latest corporate tie-in to build buzz for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," ANA, Japan's largest airline, announced Tuesday that two more planes will be decorated with characters from the films.
The new "Star Wars"-themed vessels will join the previously announced R2-D2 ANA jet, a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner bearing the beloved droid's likeness, scheduled to go into service on international routes this fall.
The new "Star Wars" ANA jet will feature R2-D2 on the outside of a Boeing 767-300 with his buddy BB-8, a new droid from "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." For now, it is scheduled to start flying domestic Japanese routes in November.
Disney to open 'Star Wars' theme parks
Another vessel, a Boeing 777-300ER featuring the roly-poly BB-8, is scheduled to start serving international routes between Japan and North America in March.
And for the first time ever, these planes will feature all 6 Star Wars movies as the 'in-flight entertainment'! That in itself should get you in the air ;)
Do you think this is just a temporary fade to push The Force Awakens movie or could it be here to stay? Sound off on our FB group and make sure you like our page.
