This is the first Star Wars film 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.
