ANA, Japan's largest airline, rolled out the hotly anticipated R2-D2 ANA jet on Saturday -- the first of three "Stars Wars"-themed vessels to go into service on international routes this fall.The Star Wars-themed airliner has made a demonstration flight in Tokyo.
About 90 people were invited to take part in the demonstration flight, which took off from Tokyo's Haneda Airport on Saturday. They dressed up as Star Wars characters such as Luke Skywalker and Darth Vader. The plane is painted to look like the robot R2-D2.

ANA's partnership with Disney is part of efforts to build buzz for the release of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" later this year.Passengers will be able to watch all six of the previous "Star Wars" movies from their seats -- the first time any of the films have been shown as in-flight entertainment.
ANA plans to operate the Star Wars jets over the next 5 years, mainly on international routes.
