LEGO Star Wars set 8037, Anakin's Y-wing Starfighter, depicts the Y-wing starfighter associated with Anakin Skywalker in the Clone Wars setting. Released in 2009, it belongs to the Star Wars theme and contains 570 pieces for the ship and its characters.

Anakin's Y-wing Starfighter places the model in the Clone Wars period of the Star Wars licence. The craft is tied to Anakin Skywalker and presents a version of the Y-wing that differs from the better-known rebel fighters, while retaining the long, technical profile associated with the ship type.

The build uses 570 pieces and focuses on the starfighter’s elongated body, cockpit area and characteristic Y-wing engineering detail.

This set suits collectors of LEGO Star Wars ships, fans of the Clone Wars era and builders looking to group Anakin, Ahsoka and R2-D2 in one display. It can stand alone as a starfighter model or sit alongside other Star Wars sets to show how the Y-wing has been represented in different contexts.
