The G9 Rigger-class light freighter,[2] or simply the G9 Rigger freighter Native instruments sale history. was a model of freighter manufactured by the Corellian Engineering Corporation and used during the Clone Wars. Its only weapons were small blaster cannons attached to the wings and top of the freighter. Jedi GeneralAnakin Skywalker acquired a G9 Rigger, the Twilight, during the Battle of Teth and kept it as a personal project throughout the war, periodically modifying it and making repairs,[1] until its eventual destruction at the hands of the Shadow Collective.[6]
During the age of the empire the Bridger family used a G9 called the Sunburst. In the years following the Battle of Yavin, the Hutt Cartel operated G9s, using them to transport contraband to their numerous clients.[5] The Hackjackers, a gang of shipthieves, also made use of a G9.[7]

First Star Wars movie, since Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi (1983), to feature an in-cockpit view of the jump to hyperspace. George Lucas purposely did not use this iconic shot in any of the prequels, so as not to lessen the impact of seeing it for the first time in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) (assuming one watches the movies in chronological order).

The ship Anakin takes from the landing platform on Teth is called 'The Twilight'. It is an old Corellian G9 Rigger Freighter. Skywalker continues using the ship during the Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) television series. Dave Filoni has stated that this finally gives some credit to Uncle Owen's claim that 'Luke's father was a navigator on a spice freighter' from Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977).

When Ahsoka is addressing the clones in the hangar bay, a pink droid is standing next to R2-D2. This droid's name is R2-KT, and was included as a way to honor the work of the 501st Legion (an international group of Star Wars costumers who perform countless hours of volunteer work for many charities). The droid was created in the memory of Katie Johnson (daughter of the 501st Legion's founder Albin Johnson) who died of cancer at the young age of seven. Some of the costumer's built a pink R2 (dubbed R2-KT) for Katie, to provide her comfort in the last days of her life. This was to reflect the scene in Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones (2002), when R2-D2 watches over Padmé, while she slept at night.

Anakin's Fleet Commander, Admiral Yularen, also appeared in the conference scene in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). He is the only Imperial wearing a white uniform in that scene. The character was first identified in the Star Wars Customizable Card Game, where he was listed as being a member of the Imperial Security Bureau. Dave Filoni mistook the white uniform for that of a Grand Admiral (as featured in Timothy Zahn's Star Wars novels), which is why Yularen became an Admiral in the Clone Wars.
