More manuals of Lego Frequently Asked Questions about Lego set 75281 Star Wars Anakins Jedi Interceptor The name Azure Angel was created by Lucasfilm's "Keeper of the Holocron," Leland Chee, based on the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels precision flight team. Other possible names were Cerulean Angel, Cobalt Angel, and Teal Angel. Most Lego sets are suited to play with from age 4 and up, because of the small parts they include. The special Duplo theme is suited for children aged 1,5 and up. The recommended age is always mentioned on the box. Moreover, inconsistencies regarding the actual placement of the laser cannons have arisen in certain sources; in Star Wars Battlefront: Renegade Squadron and Darth Vader and the Lost Command 2, the laser cannons are shown to occupy what should be the ion cannon positions. In the former source, missile launchers are shown to be placed between the forward tines, reinforcing Labyrinth of Evil 's statement. However, both cases could be defined as game mechanics and special modifications respectively. Some Jedi were concerned that Skywalker regarded this fighter as a possession, and that it was a sign of his inability to let go of his past or to resist forming attachments. However, Jedi Master Saesee Tiin encouraged him to keep pushing the ship's limits, hoping to see that Anakin's improvements were incorporated into the next generation of Jedi starfighters.

Republic, Rebel, and Resistance Starfighters" — Star Wars Encyclopedia (First identified as Eta-2 Actis Jedi Interceptor) Anakin Skywalker's first craft was painted a bright yellow color against a metallic undercoat. He maintained that this was a tribute to his childhood podracer, but some believed that the bright hue was designed to draw attention to himself in battle. Unfortunately, Skywalker lost his fighter in the Battle of Coruscant, and he later flew temporarily under a more standard green and white paint scheme, which he used in the Mission to Mustafar. Saesee Tiin's interceptor was green, and Mace Windu's had purple coloring. LEGO Star Wars Episode III, Revenge of the Sith is a LEGO subtheme of Star Wars that was created to coincide with the release of the sixth, but chronologically third, Star Wars film. Many modern Lego instructions include a part list at the end of the booklet. In the case of multiple booklets the list might be found in the middle of the PDF. It’s an essential ship from the Star Wars saga, but do you need it in your collection? Not if you have any other version of it; there are no particular improvements this time around, the differences to last time are minor. This is a set for those who don’t yet own this particular iteration of the Jedi Starfighter.Such a design element carried with it certain flaws, however; this area of the hull was lightly armored, and extremely vulnerable to laser fire and buzz droid sabotage. [2] The missiles could be launched in rapid succession; seven of them were fired within the span of seconds at the Battle of Muunilinst. Other modifications included an increase to engine power, articulated stabilizer foils and vectored thrusters for increased maneuverability within realspace and atmospheres, as well as a pair of TransGalMeg hyperdrive thrusters that provided hyperspace capability without having to utilize a hyperdrive ring. Master, your new fighter has arrived. The specs on this prototype make it the fastest fighter Kuat Systems has ever built." ― Ahsoka Tano, to Anakin Skywalker [11] The Starfighter does not sit high enough off the ground for the wing flaps to be extended much, so fans may want to pop a few transparent elements underneath to remedy that. It’s hard to call it a design flaw, as it is accurate, it’s just a shame it pretty much has to be displayed with the flaps closed.

Star Wars Helmet Collection 15 ( Weapons & Uniforms: The Grand Army of the Republic) (Picture only) The first prototype of the craft was deployed during the initial skirmishes with the Valahari people, and the craft was used by Anakin Skywalker to combat the advanced Tempest Zero starfighter used by Tofen Vane. The prototype proved itself in the Battle of the Veil Nebula where it managed to shoot down Vane's craft and thus aid in a Republic victory against the Separatist forces. This concept led to much wider production and widespread deployment in the Republic Navy than the Delta-7 and Delta-7B had seen, since the Delta-7 and Delta-7B had been designed exclusively for the Jedi. It would also inspire the design and size rules that made the TIE fighters of the later Empire so cheap, modular, and effective.However, the greatest legacy of the Actis-class was the philosophy behind it—that smaller, more nimble, unshielded, and relatively under-equipped fighters, when mass-produced, could be ultimately more effective than a lesser quantity of costlier, bulkier, well-armed, and better-protected starfighters. This had been demonstrated in the Battle of Coruscant where more heavy fighters suffered significant losses at the hands of lighter, more agile fighters. This opinion principally ushered in the dominance of the TIE series, and inevitably spurred the phasing-out of superior-quality fighters like the ARC-170. There are two conflicting sources for this article: Star Wars Journeys: Beginnings and Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know. LEGO 75038 Jedi Interceptor was a 223 piece Star Wars set with 2 minifigs released in 2014. It is based on the film Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith and includes an Anakin Skywalker minifigure and R2-D2. Considering this set is arriving four years after 75135 Obi-Wan’s Jedi Interceptor, it’s remarkable how faithfully the designers have followed the way that previous set was put together, albeit with minor few changes. In fact, it’s also really close in design to 75038 Jedi Interceptor, the last time Anakin’s version was released in 2014. — Characters —

Elements of the Eta-2 Actis design were used in the creation of the Sienar Fleet Systems line of TIE starfighters—most notably the vertical radiator panels and twin ion engines, as well as the spoked viewing port; this was expanded in the Eta-2's TIE successor to become the fighter's main viewport. Eta-2s that were flown by the Jedi were usually stripped down for even faster performance. Heavy sensors and flight instruments were removed, since they were unnecessary for a pilot with precognitive Force abilities. While most Jedi pilots flew Eta-2s more in line with the factory standard, such as Obi-Wan Kenobi, whose fighters were red- or blue-hued against a white undercoat, some chose to customize theirs with unorthodox color schemes. More manuals of Lego Frequently Asked Questions about Lego set 9494 Star Wars Anakins Jedi interceptor There is some discrepancy about when the Eta-2s were introduced. In the 2005 series Star Wars: Clone Wars, Anakin is first shown piloting his interceptor, immediately after his knighthood ceremony in Chapter 21. On the other hand, a later source, The Clone Wars 12, shows the first prototype of the Eta-2 when Anakin is already well into his knighthood and has Ahsoka as his Padawan. During the establishment of the Galactic Alliance, a successor series known as the Eta-5 interceptor was used in the Second Galactic Civil War. [16] Behind the scenes [ ]A LEGO version of the fighter (LEGO STAR WARS - 75087 Anakin's Custom Jedi Starfighter) was released in 2015. The two biggest contributers to the discolouring of the plastic of Lego toys are long term exposure to sunlight and cigarette smoke. Try to minimise these when storing your Playmobil. During the Galactic Civil War, some Eta-2s still remained operational in the Imperial Navy and were reserved for skilled pilots. Others were captured and used by the Rebel Alliance and other various parties, with similar requirements. [15] The Lonely Five, owned by Jedi Knight Rachi Sitra, was used by the Rebel Alliance. [8] Design legacy [ ] The original Azure Angel was used up until the Battle of Muunilinst. After destroying numerous Geonosian fighters and a Separatist gun platform, Anakin encountered Asajj Ventress, who dueled him using her Ginivex-class starfighter. When the Dark Jedi retreated, Anakin chased her to the jungle moon of Yavin 4, where she destroyed the Azure Angel after he had landed. Following this, Skywalker would go on to pilot several other starfighters, including a number of yellow Delta-7B's, a red Delta-7, another blue Delta-7 named Azure Angel II, and at least two yellow Eta-2 Actis. The Anakin Skywalker minifigure uses the torso and legs from the version that first appeared in 75269 Duel on Mustafar with the head from 75214 Anakin’s Jedi Starfighter. It makes for a fine minifigure for this set – while the torso probably doesn’t need the battle marks, they don’t do any harm either.
