United Airlines is showing off the force with its “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” collaboration. Passengers will board a Star Wars themed airplane to the iconic movie soundtrack and watch R2D2 and C3PO in the safety video.
The theme plane will be a United Airlines Boeing 737, which will sport features such as the spacecraft from the movie franchise, including X-wings and Tie fighters, and a lightsaber on each side of the tail.
On board, the United will be offering Star Wars themed amenity kits and the headrests will be affixed with the emblems of the film's dueling factions, the Resistance and the First Order.
The plane will offically be unveiled next month and those flying on the aircraft will receive commemorative pin badges.
The Star Wars themed aircraft is being launched to coincide with the release of the latest movie in the franchise, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
"We are thrilled to join forces and help promote the concluding chapter of the Skywalker story, while at the same time enlisting help from our new friends from the Star Wars universe to demonstrate the importance of safety for our customers and colleagues."
Mark Krolick, United's Vice President of Marketing
