Anakin Skywalker's Eta-2 interceptor

The Eta-2 Actis Interceptor, sometimes known as the "Jedi Interceptor", is a fictional starfighter from the Star Wars saga. It was created for Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, based on the "Jedi starfighter" from Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones and, in part, the experimental TIE fighter from the classic trilogy.

Following on from the success of the Delta-7 Aethersprite Interceptor, Kuat Drive Yards subsidiary Kuat Systems Engineering designed the Eta-2 Actis Interceptor. Like its predecessor, the Jedi Interceptor was forced to either dock with a larger ship or use an external hyperdrive ring for faster-than-light travel; however, it had room for a full astromech droid instead of a truncated unit as was fitted into Delta-7 interceptors. The standard fighter complement of a Venator-class Star Destroyer included 192 Eta-2 interceptors.

Thanks to its status as a war-time starfighter, the Eta-2 had more firepower at its disposal than the Delta-7—two twin-barrel laser cannons and 2 ion cannons—though the fighter's limited power systems restricted the ability to fire continuously. Raith Sienar's twin ion engine design allowed the Eta-2 to achieve a maximum acceleration of 5,200g. Unlike the Delta-7, the Eta-2 did not have shields.

Some of these interceptors were customized by their pilots.
