The Delta-7B Aethersprite-class light interceptor, commonly known as the Jedi starfighter due to its widespread use by the Jedi, was a starfighter model employed during the Clone Wars. It was a variant design of the earlier Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor, with the Delta-7B featuring a relocated astromech droid slot and a slightly enlarged hull.[1] The Delta-7B also had a set of pop-out S-foils that could be extended for certain flight maneuvers.[2]
Behind the scenes
In Star Wars canon, there was initially some confusion as to the difference between the Delta-7B and the Delta-7, which had remained separate in the Star Wars Legends continuity. The canon Databank stated that both models were the same, designating it as the Delta-7.[3] However, Ultimate Star Wars made the distinction between the Delta-7 and the Delta-7B, stating that the latter was the model seen throughout the majority of events in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series,[1] in accordance with Legends source material. In the non-canon LEGO animated TV series Droid Tales and The Resistance Rises, Admiral Ackbar owns a blue Delta-7B interceptor called the Daisy Mae.
