Have you been dreaming of booking a ticket on that awesome Boeing 787 Dreamliner painted like Star Wars‘ R2-D2?

Well, this week, the Star Wars air fleet started flying its first paying customers from Tokyo to North America, so your dream may soon become a reality.

As King 5 reports, the first jet, the All Nippon Airways Dreamliner painted like R2-D2, flew from Tokyo to Vancouver, touching down last Sunday.

We got a cool look at the R2-D2 Dreamliner at Boeing’s Everett Factory back in September, which you can revisit here.

Many more flights are in the works between the West Coast and Tokyo. R2-D2 will fly through the end of the year with San Jose, Calif., as its “principal destination” from now until late November, Seattle becoming its main destination in early December.

Check the ANA site here to see flights.

ANA has also announced two more Star Wars jets will be hitting the air soon. A Boeing 777 painted like BB-8 will be flying by next year, and a third Boeing 767 with both R2-D2 and BB-8 on it is supposed to start flying this winter, too.

Additionally, Star Wars buffs headed to Asia will be glad to know that the insides of the planes will be decked out with Star Wars-themed stuff, while the flights will have the previous Star Wars trilogies as in-flight entertainment options. It’s the first time a Star Wars movie has been offered as part of the onboard entertainment, according to ANA.
