Any ideas what this could be hinting at? The Star Wars Twitter account sent it earlier and is teasing for today (4/12) at 15:30 CDT to watch their Youtube channel. https://youtube.com/starwars

It would be right up with their other recent redesign disasters to have JJ Abrams direct the new UA commercials ... Having said that, I wouldn't mind UA giving their safety vids the Star Wars treatment much like ANZ did with Peter Jackson's Middle-earth epics ...

Wouldn’t allow me to upload a mp4 so here is a screenshot
I saw them filming something at Ohare a few weeks ago in baggage claim (darth vader + a number of storm troopers). Let me see if I can find the video i took and figure out how to upload here
EDIT: couldn’t upload an mp4 so here is a screenshot.

I believe the Jackie Chan/ Chris Tucker film “Rush Hour 2” was premiered on a UA flight, with both some production and tie ins associated with UA. Would be quite a thing to do a repeat. The Terminal also has a strong UA presence (thnx Zeta-Jones.)

The billboard-style name place was confirmed with the HER ART HERE contest. What remains the mystery is the tail and winglet design.
