Now All Nippon Airways will have two new planes to join their Artoo jet.
One ANA's Boeing 777-300ER will be painted like the newly introduced orange and white droid, BB-8.
The second plane, a Boeing 767-300, will be a combination of BB-8 and R2-D2.
The painted planes are part of a five-year promotional deal between ANA and Disney and will fly domestic as well as international routes.
Along with the stellar outside décor, the jets will also have Star Wars-inspired headrest covers, as well as napkins and cups.
All six Star Wars films will also be offered as in-flight entertainment, marking the first time this has ever been allowed.
ANA CEO Osamu Shinobe stated:
"We're thrilled to unveil the designs of our new Star Wars themed planes, and I'm sure fans across the world will love the look. At ANA we pride ourselves on offering the best possible flight experience, from the ANA Star Wars Project and our extensive in-flight entertainment options, to our peerless, award-winning in-flight service, dining options created by Michelin-starred chefs and wines chosen by our discerning sommeliers. We look forward to providing our passengers with an engaging in-flight experience as they travel our planet."
Lucasfilm chimed in, "we at Lucasfilm are absolutely delighted to have found in Japan such a wonderful partner in ANA and to able to provide you with a wonderful opportunity like this one."
Kathleen Kennedy, president, Lucasfilm Ltd. continued, “I, too, certainly look forward to flying aboard one of ANA’s Star Wars jets on my next trip to Japan.”
