United's limited edition Star Wars flight thrills movie fans

United has launched a special edition Star Wars 737-800 connecting passengers across North America with their inner child. With a limited-edition livery painted to publicise the final film in the franchise Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, the plane features a light-side and a dark-side. A dogfight between the films' recognisable TIE Fighter and X-wing spaceships is depicted on the black fuselage. This choice between good and evil continues on the inside of the aircraft. Either side of the cabin flying a 3-3 configuration, seats are decorated with either the colours of the Rebel Alliance or the Evil Empire. Although passengers' placement on either side of the battle lines has more to do with seat allocation rather a susceptibility to the "Dark Side of the Force". The plane was unveiled at the beginning of the month with an inaugural flight from Houston Texas to Orlando Florida. Accompanying the plane was a compliment of fearsome looking Storm Troopers, who posed for pictures with air travellers.<br/>
