Obi-Wan's spaceship
Seen this on SW.Com? Check the episode 2 vidoes section. I cannot believe this has not been mentioned before.
So, we know:
It is a Jedi Fighter
Obi-Wan flies it
It has an R4 unit
It looks like a small Star Destroyer
It amuses Ewan McGregor...
I hear a RUMOUR that it is called the Kyber Dart, which would mess up a few things... to my amusement...
Any more info on this would be appreciated.

Ush, do you know where there's a pic of that spy photo of that ship at the Sydney studios?.. I was going to find it and post it...but I don't know where it went to.
I honestly think that it might be the right ship.
As for the name Kyber Dart..I was thinking about the possiblity that the jedi also use the crystals for weapons on their fighters..or maybe the energy supply of the fighter itself.

Wow! That video was the most info in a long time! 
It was a nice change from just saying 'I can't tell you what I'm doing' stuff in the Ahmed Best Videos.
Anyway, I got a list of abunch of shots that I have to go through, I might be able to find more spy shots of this craft.
MTFBWY!

Cheers guys
Do you think it looks like something that would be called the Kyber Dart?
And keep up the good ideas, Dim...

Kyber dart would be a good name, but it could be too violent for the Jedi's liking. I'm worried Obi Wan will turn out to be a more flashy pilot than Anakin. That would scramble my original ideas about the prequel trilogy. Something else which people don't seem to have mentioned, in some pictures, it has what looks like an imperial symbol on the side.Hmmm.

That HAS been mentioned, but it should be re-capped here.
It DOES appear to be an Imperial sig, however:
1. I see no reason why the Reoublic and Imperial sigs can't be the same
2. It has been rumoured that it is actually a top-down diagram of the Jedi Council Chamber.

It's exciting to see a new ship and a jedi one at that..just one question..why does Obiwan need to wear his robes when piloting his ship? Surely they would get in his way..where is a swanky new jedi pilot suit..that would be cool!!

Oh I don't think that they'd be that bad..just as long as he doesn't wear his outer robe... My question is..if OB1 is a pilot..why didn't he fly him and Qui-Gon in TPM? Just didn't have a ship?
Plus I still think we need to consider what kind of weapons it would have.
Oh, and I would think Kyber Dart would be a apt name for a jedi ship.

Looking at some close-ups of the ship, it seemed to have a small laser like device on the side, at the bit where it stops tapering out and goes straight.
Please tell me that Obi Wan won't be wearing that ridiculous helmet that he's seen wearing in some pictures. It was huge, like something off Spaceballs. Plus, along with the simple brown Jedi clothing, it looked well out of place. Some pictures showing him in the cockpit looked groovy, though.

Ewan didn't seem to like the helmet either...

It was a laugh watching him with that helmet, though...

I just looked at the pics and saw a beardless, shaven-headed Ewan. Whats that about? Could he play a clone of himself too?

No, that's a more recent interview. Ewan is now doing other work that requires him to look different.
