It appears to be N36272.

That aircraft can be tracked with flightaware, for example.

Seems it has been at the paint shop for about two weeks now.

I'd like to find and track United's Star Wars plane, hopefully some kind soul can explain to me how I can do that.

Thanks!

This post has the tail number in question: https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/31710230-post759.html
The link above will allow you to track it. Note that future schedules are always a bit hit-or-miss; swaps happen all the time.

Would be cool if they redid the interior to match as well - can’t have everything in life...

I'm waiting for them to turn a UC into the Mos Eisley cantina.

By the way is there another thread here for the Cali themed UA 757 ?

Looks like I'll get to see this in SEA tomorrow. Quite like the look of it in the video, so will be nice to get an up close and personal viewing.

the seats are a nice (and unexpected) touch. i don't think i've ever watched star wars, but this has instantly become my favorite UA special livery.

the NZ all blacks 787/777 is also a favorite, so it's probably because i'm a sucker for black liveries.

There are times when the UC at EWR Terminal C resembles Mos Eisley...

Damn - that's well played with the headrests. Until you posted that, I was happier to see it from the outside. Now I wish I was flying SEA-ORD-SFO. Maybe I can find a favourable SDC routing tomorrow :-)
