One day after Disney’s new “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” teaser trailer was released, Japan’s All Nippon Airways (ANA) announced plans for an R2-D2-themed aircraft.

ANA unveiled images of its Boeing 787 Dreamliner looking remarkably like the famous robot from the “Star Wars” films.

The aircraft will enter ANA’s fleet sometime later this year ahead of the new film’s debut. The airliner will fly an international route, BBC reported Friday.

“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” will be in theaters Dec. 18, 2015.
