During the Battle of Coruscant, much of the Republic ship design is meant to foreshadow the Galactic Civil War: The Republic's Venator starcruisers are even closer in design to the Imperial Star Destroyers than the Acclamator-class ships of the previous film. During the Action Prologue, they still sport the Republic's red-and-white paintjob, but by the film's denouement, they are depicted in Imperial grey. The ARC-170 starfighters are precursors of the Rebel Alliance's X-Wings, larger and with a different kind of splitting-wing. The briefly-glimpsed V-Wings have vertical wing-tip stabilizers similar to the TIE Fighter, and are more prominently featured in the film's denoument alongside the Venators' new grey paintjob. The fighters flown by Anakin and Obi-Wan share the windshield design of the TIE Fighter. As one final reminder to the audience of what is to become of the Republic (not to mention Anakin Skywalker), the S-Foils on their fighters deploy and take the shape of a pair of curved vertical wingtip stabilizers, evoking the design of Darth Vader's TIE Advanced.
