United Airlines is giving "Star Wars" fans a travel experience they’ll never forget.

The airline carrier has joined forces with the iconic film franchise to unveil a "Star Wars"-themed aircraft, just in time for the December release of “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.”

Customers will get to fly the friendly galaxy starting next month inside one of United’s Boeing 737-800, featuring a re-designed onboard experience and external paint design.

The airline will also offer "Star Wars"-themed amenity kits and launch its latest safety demonstration video featuring characters from the new film, according to a press release.

Star Wars is Disney’s $4 billion dollar boat anchor.

After Disney made the Star Wars franchise “WOKE” it has lost any interest to the original fans. I don’t waste my time.

Are the stewardesses going to dress like Princess Leia in the Jabba the Hut episode? Might make the flight more enjoyable.

How about United teach their cabin crews not to act like Wookiee, especially the women.

If they’re using Boeing 737s will they call them “Death Stars” ?

Guess who gets to pay for the back to the original paint job after December? Come on. The first two answers don’t count. Yes! That’s right. The passengers with their future ticket purchases.

It’s concerning that a company you trust with your life thinks like a child.

Does this mean that only oppressed people and metrosexual white men can fly on it?

From the way the staff generally behaves, they would probably go for Imperial uniforms.
