NOW this is one Boeing 787-8 “Dreamliner” plane that’s living up to its name.


The R2D2 jet delighted diehard fans as it rolled out of the Boeing factory in Everett, Washington, on the weekend, fully decorated in a Star Wars theme.

Stormtroopers also accompanied the jet out of the hangar.

The plane was created for All Nippon Airways (ANA), Japan’s largest airline, and is the first of three aircraft to be adorned with the livery.

The R2D2 motif has been imprinted onto the cockpit and front half of the jet’s exterior, while the Star Wars logo spans the length behind the wings.

Inside, passengers will find themed in-flight decorations including headrest covers, serviettes and cups.

And those flying on the 215-seat plane will be able to watch all six of the recently released Star Wars films.

“At ANA we’re always looking for ways to improve the flying experience for our passengers, and what better way to start your trip to Asia than on a one-of-a-kind Star Wars plane?” ANA spokeswoman Hideki Kunugi said.

The jet is scheduled to begin commercial flights from Haneda to Vancouver (flight number NH116) from October 18. And great news for Aussie fans — the plane will later fly between Japan and Sydney, as well as cities in the US, Europe, China and Indonesia.

May the force be with them!
