- "These jet-wings are for spraying fertilizers, Master—not attacking droid ships!"
- ―Ahsoka Tano, to Anakin Skywalker
Jet-wings were a model of silver and blue flying vehicle used on the moon Gall to spray fertilizers on crops. They consisted of a long sleek body, which housed the single pilot in an open-air cockpit, and a pair of wings located above the body at the back of the vehicle. The wings were attached to the circular rear of the vehicle by six struts.[1]
During the Clone Wars between the Galactic Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems, the Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker and his Padawan, Ahsoka Tano, used jet-wings during a battle on Gall. While their own vehicles were refueling, the pair used the jet-wings to avoid the sensors of the Separatist craft leading and shielding the other Separatist vessels. They breached the ship's shields, landing the jet-wings on its surface and dismounting, after which the vehicles were destroyed.[1]
