Gentlemen- the new Jedi Starfighter designation is Eta-2. A clear follow on from Delta-7 :)
By the time of Episode III, the Jedi have upgraded much of their starfighter arsenal with the new Eta-2 starfighters. Anakin starts the film in a yellow-trimmed fighter, whose lines are strongly evocative of the TIE fighter designs still to come. Anakin's amazing piloting abilities make the difference in a daring mission to rescue Chancellor Palpatine, who has been kidnapped by Separatist forces. The toy version of the starfighter has an opening canopy that can hold an action figure (sold separately), spring-open wings, firing missiles, and a retractable landing gear.
Too bad we don't know what it's nickname is- what's a suitable name similar to the Delta-7 Aethersprite?

and
General Grievous is the tactical mastermind and monstrous leader of the Separatist army. A twisted mix of droid machinery and strange alien, Grievous is a deadly cyborg trained in lightsaber combat by the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus. His mechanical reflexes, alien mind, and lack of scruples make him the deadliest Jedi killer of the Clone Wars. The action figure of Grievous comes complete with lightsabers, blaster pistol, and base.

If he's the deadliest Jedi killer in the Clone Wars what about Anakin? I guess the Jedi purge technically happens after the Clone Wars.

Actually, I'm guessing that "Jedi Killer" is more to denotate non-Jedi who are able to kill Jedi. Jedi killing Jedi is really no big deal.
