Here is a Youtube video of the launch day festivities, including the arrival of the ANA R2D2 plane, and the launch parade in Changi Airport.

I was at Changi T3 checking in for an afternoon SQ flight to Osaka at the end of November, and had the opportunity to check-out the Star Wars X-wing promo display there.

This was a full size X-wing model...pretty impressive...





We were there at 12.20pm, which was in between the photo-taking sessions, so there was no-one queuing to take photos in the cockpit, but that said, many visitors took the opportunity to take pictures or selfies next to the X-wing, and I had to wait a while for a lull before snapping these unobstructed pictures.

The photo schedule is listed on the poster below.



Costumes that you can dress up in for photos...



I didn't see an orange rebel pilot flight suit or helmet, though...

Good detailing in the rear of the X-wing...



...and undercarriage...



It is a promo model, and not a realistic film prop, so don't expect to see anything resembling a movie prop-quality X-wing.

But it is still a very striking life size model, and great PR for both Changi and Star Wars!
