Set 8096, “Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle”, depicts Emperor Palpatine’s shuttle in the Star Wars theme. Released in 2010, it contains 592 pieces and connects an Imperial craft with the transformation of Anakin Skywalker.

This model belongs to the LEGO Star Wars range and represents Emperor Palpatine’s personal shuttle. Its subject places the vehicle near the storyline involving Palpatine, Anakin Skywalker and the rise of the Empire, while remaining a vehicle focused set within the broader Star Wars theme.

The build uses 592 pieces and forms a shuttle with an Imperial character. It includes four named minifigures: 2-1B Medical Droid, Pearl Dark Gray, Emperor Palpatine, Light Bluish Gray Skin, Black Hands, Anakin Skywalker, Transformation, White Pupils, Darth Vader Helmet, and Clone Pilot, Open Helmet, White Head (Episode 3).
