Anakin's Jedi Intercepter

Description

The opening battle

Revenge of the Sith begins with one of the most famous sequences in the prequels: Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi racing through the battle above Coruscant in their Jedi interceptors to rescue Chancellor Palpatine from General Grievous. The Eta-2 interceptor is small, fast and flat, with angled wings on either side of a narrow cockpit. That profile is what a model of 45 pieces needs to capture, and it is what makes the ship recognisable even in miniature.

Dark and understated

Black is the leading colour, followed by light bluish grey, dark bluish grey and dark green. It is a subdued palette in which dark green is the only real colour. Of the 45 pieces, 22 are distinct elements, roughly half, which keeps the short build varied. For a model this size, that is a healthy mix of shapes. The set name spells Intercepter with an e, exactly as it appears in the catalogue, which is why this page uses the same spelling.

Squadron building

One mini fighter is a quick build; several together tell a story. Paired with a small version of Obi-Wan's interceptor or a V-wing, this model can recreate the escort formation from the opening of Revenge of the Sith on a single shelf. Younger fans will enjoy flying it around straight away, and because there is no minifigure to keep track of, it is also a tidy desk model that needs very little room.

The parts afterwards

Black and grey pieces are some of the most versatile in any collection, while dark green adds options for plants, camouflage or your own vehicles. The parts list on this page shows all 22 elements with colour, number and quantity, ideal for checking a copy before it goes on display. The What can I build? tool then compares your collection with other sets and shows which models you could build now or with only a few more parts.
