9495 Gold Leader's Y-wing Starfighter was a Star Wars-themed set released in 2012.
Background[]
The Y-Wing Starfighter is a main ship of the Rebel Alliance. It was used in the destruction of the first Death Star in A New Hope and was also vital in the destruction of the second one too. It was used mainly as a bombing ship because of its huge payload.
Notes[]
- In LEGO's official descriptions, R5-F7 is incorrectly referred to as R2-A3, a droid owned by Wedge Antilles.
- This is also part of a super pack.
- This appeared in Ace Assault II in the new levels section.
- Interestingly, the ceremonial outfit princess Leia wears here is not shown until the end of the movie, at which point this ship has been destroyed and Dutch Vander killed; this is one of a number of cases of artistic license taken by Lego in various Star Wars sets.
- This Y-Wing would later appear in Star Wars Rebels, in which its acquisition by the Rebel Alliance is depicted.
