Japanese Airline to Make Jet Look Like "Star Wars" Droid

Japan's All Nippon Airways (ANA) is going to paint one of its Boeing 777 jets to look like the Star Wars character C-3PO. That will make it the fourth Star Wars-themed plane in the company's fleet.

The others are painted to look like C-3PO's fellow droids R2-D2 and BB-8. Those two characters each have their own planes and a third has both of their likenessess—all before ANA got around to C-3PO. The indignity!

In addition to the paint schemes, ANA's ongoing Star Wars Project will incorporate movie-themed headrest covers, paper napkins, and cups onboard those aircraft. The C-3PO plane will being flying domestically in Japan starting in March 2017.
