Description

Great for solo or group play, this 248-piece construction kit combines brilliantly with other LEGO Star Wars sets and makes a top birthday present, holiday gift or special surprise for kids aged 7+ 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. 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. 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]

Star Wars Anakins Jedi Interceptor Manual 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.

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 prototype Eta-2 model that Anakin Skywalker pilots in the Hero of the Confederacy arc is based on actual concept art of the Eta-2 designed for Episode III: Revenge of the Sith; this artwork can be viewed in the 2005 book The Art of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. [17] The ship was piloted by a single pilot, with the assistance of a single externally mounted astromech droid for navigation and repair assistance. For offense, the ship featured two laser cannons and two ion cannons. Unlike laser cannons, the ship's ion cannons fired bursts of plasma that caused temporary electrical disruptions to their target upon impact. [8] History [ ] 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. 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.

The specs on this prototype make it the fastest fighter Kuat Systems has ever built." ― Ahsoka Tano, to Anakin Skywalker [11] 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.

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.

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. 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 [ ]

Manual

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. More manuals of Lego Frequently Asked Questions about Lego set 75281 Star Wars Anakins Jedi Interceptor To enhance the ship's firepower, he armed it with four Taim & Bak laser cannons, mounting two on each wingtip, as well as a missile launcher installed in the center fuselage, which held a very high number of missiles. The laser cannons on each wingtip could fire either separately or simultaneously, and at such extreme angles off-axis that they could hit targets even as Anakin passed them.

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.

More about this manual

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. 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. 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. A LEGO version of the fighter (LEGO STAR WARS - 75087 Anakin's Custom Jedi Starfighter) was released in 2015.
