“Help me gate agent, you’re my only hope.”

So might open the conversation with All Nippon Airways, if you’re one of the fans who attempt to book a seat aboard the Japanese airline’s new “Star Wars” jet coming this fall. In honor of the iconic movie series, the airline will paint one of its brand-new Boeing 787s with an R2-D2 motif.

An apparent video rendering of the R2-D2 plane, released on YouTube Thursday, shows the nose of the plane decorated with R2-D2’s signature blue and white stripes, along with graphics depicting the robot’s various ports.

A Boston-based engineering firm recently released plans for their new supersonic jet that will transport passengers from Los Angeles to Tokyo in five hours… and with no windows, but instead full-length digital screens that instantly turn every seat into a window seat.

The screens will show images relayed from tons of tiny cameras on the jet’s exterior. Real windows create complicated problems for plane design, so the jet’s creators said a slab of screens was the next best — and maybe the actual best — option.
