INTRODUCTION
Jedi Master Kit Fisto flies an experimental Delta-2 Starfighter on several missions during the Clone Wars. The ship can separate into two vehicles, expanding its reconnaissance and patrol capabilities. Both vessels have integrated weaponry in case of attack.

I am glad that Hasbro is releasing several repainted Jedi Starfighters for several different Jedi. Sure they are all with same with the opening cockpit, firing rockets, droid socket and the ship splits into two. Whoo-hoo ! Right? Sure that is all fine and dandy but where Hasbro is sorely missing the boat on these ships is the LACK of Clone Wars Astromech Droids. We cannot have R2-D2 or Goldie (if you have him) to fly every ship. 

To date this particular vehicle design has seen four different renditions: Anakin Skywalker's that R2-D2 can be put into. Obi-Wan Kenobi's (R4-P17 is in a future wave of figures), Ahsoka's (missing her droid) and Mace Windu's that was in the Toys-R-Us Ultimate Battle Pack that came with his droid. So that leaves us currently with two already released Clone Wars style Jedi Starfighter ships without an Astromech droid and now Kit Fisto's to add to the list. Oh wait in the words of Master Yoda "there is another." Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter is coming soon as well. Come on Hasbro get your ship into gear and produce some Jedi Starfighter specific Astromechs for our Jedi Starfighters. You can start by giving us Ahsoka's, Kit Fisto's and Plo Koon's Clone Wars styled Astromechs. Heck put them in a battle pack or something just to get them out. 

Though if you want to go the more realistic route with Kit Fisto and his droid you can always use the 2008 Wal-Mart Exclusive Droid Factory Kit Fisto and R4-H5 droid as used in this guide.
