Anakin's modified Jedi Starfighter originally seen in Genndys Clone Wars 2003 micro series, then turned into a realistic-style vehicle in Hasbros toyline, which in turn was then used as drawing reference in the revered Expanded Universe 'Republic' comics that even George Lucas was seen reading from time to time. He even liften word for word dialogue from this comic series for Revenge of the Sith and referred to off-screen events and names in the movie that tie in directly to the comic. Characters seen in the movie like Aayla Secura were born in this comic series.
