To kick start its annual year-end festive celebrations, Changi Airport is bringing a part of the galaxy far, far away to fans, travellers and visitors alike, with two of the film series’ iconic star-fighters landing in Singapore for the very first time.
From 13 November 2015 to 5 January 2016, visitors can embark on an intergalactic adventure at Terminal 3’s (T3) Departure Hall, where a life-sized X-wingTM fighter takes centre stage.

1. Life-size X-Wing Fighter at T3
Hop into the cockpit of the X-Wing Fighter in Terminal 3 to know what it feels like to be a rebel alliance pilot.
Visitors will get the chance to don Star Wars costumes and take the hot seat behind the controls in the cockpit. Photo memorabilia will be made available for visitors to bring home for FREE! Ticket numbers will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis over four photo sessions everyday: 10am – 12pm, 1pm – 3pm, 4pm – 6pm (except Saturdays), 7pm – 9pm.

Venue: T2 Departure Hall (Near Burger King Outlet)
Passengers travelling through T2 can also expect to catch a glimpse of a Star Wars-themed gate holdroom and aerobridge at gate E26, where more life-sized figurines of the First Order StormtroopersTM and the astromech droid R2-D2TM are stationed to welcome passengers.
3. Interactive Wall
The quest continues right behind the LED backdrop where the humanoid protocol droid C-3POTM stands by his very own ‘language centre’, teaching airport visitors popular Star Wars phrases in 10 commonly-spoken languages. Fans will also be thrilled to find a showcase of Star Wars model displays such as that of the Millennium FalconTM and Star DestroyerTM. Visitors can also catch a screening of the Behind-the-Scenes trailer of the upcoming Star Wars Movie!
