Editorial Review

We doubt it was the mode of transportation made available to Anakin Skywalker by the Jedi knights that made him renounce his friends, take up with the dark side, and become Darth Vader. Because the starfighter given to the conflicted and sullen Anakin was actually pretty cool. Done up in toy version here, it sports wings that open into an x-formation, a pair of spring-loaded missiles, an embedded R2 unit, retractable landing gear, and a canopy. We found the ship to be well built and attractive. Unlike many toys, there are no batteries to buy, insert, or worry about here. It’s simply a vehicle for imaginative play, something that the Star Wars series has always provided in ample amounts. --Charlie Williams

Pilot this awesome starfighter to adventure. Open the canopy and place action figure (sold separately) inside. You can fire the launching missiles at enemy fighters, or activate the spring-open wings. Cool detailing and retractable landing gear help to blast you into a galaxy of excitement.

This review is from: Star Wars Starfighter Vehicle E3 Ve01 Anakin Skywalker Jedi Starfight (Toy)

This, the last expected episode in the Star Wars saga should certainly bring about a long line of product that might seem never ending. So, it begins with the Sneak Preview line of toys, which to date includes 4 figures, and Anakin's Starfighter

We've seen starfighters before. We've seen x-wings, a-wings, tie fighters and virtually every vehicle and weapon in the Star Wars saga. So, is this Starfighter any different?

The answer to that is, yes, and no. No. It's not a whole lot different. The price is typical of Hasbro's Star Wars line of vehicles this size. There's not a lot different in that it has two firing missles, and the wings open up. The cockpit opens, and allows for an Anakin figure to fit in. A nice novelty is that it comes with a "generic" R2-D2 who's dome spins, and, can be removed and replaced with an actual R2-D2 figure. A really nice touch.

The design itself is rather cool. (Leaves one to wonder where the engine is at, though). But, it's unique design is definately
cool.

Durability? Quality seems similar to previous starfighters. Drop it too hard, and I'm sure something will break. But, not super fragile, either. It's pretty decent heavy duty plastic quality.

Kids who like Star Wars should like this as much as any previous version of starfighters. The fact it comes in a cool box and has a cool design doesnt hurt things.

As is typical with Star Wars products, "Figures not included".

One annoyance, at least to me, is with the decal instructions. The Star Wars vehicles come with a 2 dimensional picture that looks different than the actual product. If one is not looking for a purist's placement, then it will not matter. For those who want the decals placed in the proper place, this might be a bit annoying.

For collectors, I won't swear that this is going to increase in value; however, if I were to guess it, I'd think it should. The reason is, with this being the last episode Lucas plans on making, I do believe we will see the largest line of toys ever.

That said and done, this Sneak Peak starfighter could be of interest to collectors down the line. I say this because I suspect that this packaging won't last too much after the movie is released, and the new line comes out. Therefore, this may be in demand later. At least that's my gamble. And, if not, at least it's a cool looking starfighter.

Bottomline: This is a must have starfighter for collectors and fans alike. It's cool, not overly expensive at $20, and, pretty fun for kids. A definate thumbs up on this one.

SCORE: 95 of 100.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Vehicle In The Episode III Line, May 15, 2006

This review is from: Star Wars Starfighter Vehicle E3 Ve01 Anakin Skywalker Jedi Starfight (Toy)

Introduction

So far,in the Episode III Line, you have seen figures,games, weapons, and vehicles. To me this Jedi Interceptor is just like the Obi-Wan Starfighter. There is no doubt that this ship has super durability and details. This vehicle does not come with Anakin! It comes with stickers, instruction booklet, and Fall 2006 Catalog! It comes with two firing missiles, two landing gears on bottom of ship (easier to land),opening cockpit, and removable R2-D2 droid. Anakin's Fighter has super articulation!

Over All

The stickers are simple to put on, except for ones in the cockpit, and you can put R2 stickers on R2-D2. Just like the battle above Coruscant, you can pilot this vehicle through "space". If you have someone who can't have small pieces keep the missiles in their original package or wait.

Review

This toy is fun to play with. You can not take the ship apart. The ship is just like the one in the movie.
