Tracking the Star Wars Planes
ANA has a list of routes and flight numbers that their Star Wars planes are scheduled to fly. They say it's valid until October 28, but one of them has two sets of flights. Some with HND as the Tokyo airport, and others with NRT.
Any way to track this a little more closely to get an idea of when specific flight numbers are likely to be the specified livery?
The BB-8 one is the one that I could theoretically be on in a NRT - BKK leg, but lately it has been flying HND - ORD and FRA with none of the NRT flights according to Flightaware.

Last week, I was downstairs from the gate 52 area @ NRT looking out the window at some aircraft when out of the corner of my eye I see it coming.
Run over to the other window....Grabbed a quick photo as she was moving at quite the clip. LOL

This model, with all the autographs, was on display in the entry area of the ANA NRT lounge in Satellite 4
There is also a large "card" on the floor with other signatures and info.
