Back in July 2016\u00a0at the Star Wars Celebration in London, ANA unveiled the design for the newest addition to it’s Star Wars-themed livery jets<\/a>: C-3PO. Using a 1:20 scale model, ANA gave Star Wars fans a glimpse at the soon-to-be airborne golden rod. Well, fast forward to March 21 of 2017 and ANA just sent their fourth Star Wars jet on it’s inaugural flight. At 9:05am, some very lucky passengers found themselves on flight NH621 flying from Tokyo to Kagoshima in a giant protocol droid.<\/p>\n

Using a\u00a0Boeing 777-200, they wrapped it with a beautiful golden hue that any Star Wars fan will be able to spot from the ground. Overlaying the gold are several power coupler outlets (which StarWars.com<\/a> explains) and that iconic and colorful circuitry wiring. Here’s what Hiro Miyagawa<\/span>, ANA’s Star Wars project leader, says about the design:<\/p>\n

\"When we first designed the R2-D2 ANA jet, we came up with the concept that when you look from right above the plane, you are looking at Artoo as if he were lying on the ground, face up. We applied the same concept to the BB-8 ANA jet, and to the C-3PO ANA jet, as well.\"
