The Star Wars movie has collaborated with Kansai Nankai Electric Railway to redesign the Kansai Airport Express Rapi:t, which runs between Kansai Airport and Namba. Drawing on the image of Rapi:t as a connector to the world via Kansai International Airport, the design combines the shared themes of "travel" and "adventure" from the *Star Wars: The Force Awakens* universe. The train's original deep blue color has been replaced with a cosmic black, and characters from the movie can be spotted on the train's exterior. The interior is also color-coordinated with the movie theme and features planet backdrops of movie characters.The collaborative train is expected to run from November 21 until May 8, 2016.Fans visiting Japan should keep an eye out for it.
