Did you know that R2-D2 had the most foul mouth in the entire film series? They bleeped EVERYTHING he said. Must have been a Sailor droid in his previous programming. Or at least, a Combat Engineer.

No I you not know Nippon Airlines painted their new Boeing 787-9 with the Star Wars theme Sgt Kelli Mays. It seems pretty bizarre that they would be casting Star Wars characters R2-D2 and C-3P0 as company mascots. But I imagine they are easily recognizable and draw fans of many generations :-)

That's pretty cool. My younger brother is a huge Star Wars fan. He'll get a kick out of this.

Also, did you know that the airline will not allow anyone owning an Iphone aboard? Only Droids! Hahahaha

Cute idea. Of course, you have to be in the right spot to notice it, it appears.
