Star Wars jet: All Nippon Airways unveils B787 Dreamliner R2-D2 plane

Japanese airline All Nippon Airways (ANA) has unveiled a Boeing 787 Dreamliner decorated to look like Star Wars’ robot R2-D2.

The cockpit and front half of the white fuselage are painted with blue panels in the shape of those on the droid.

Star Wars is also written on the body of the plane behind the wing.

Images released by the airline show the tail in ANA’s normal livery.

All Nippon Airways says the jet will go into service on an international route later this year ahead of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens release in December.
