“Some notable features include the ability to open the cockpit, allowing the pilot access to the controls, folding wings and retractable landing gear which also folds up into the bottom of the ship, the ability to open the interior of the back of the ship, and the mechanism... More with which to place the iconic Darth Vader helmet onto a wounded Anakin Skywalker.”

“The construction strong and firm and the minifigs are sweet with the new clone piliot, the rare emperor, a medical droid, and the awesome Anakin/Vader which you only get in this set. I really don't care for the small things like he turn to Vader on Coruscant because with out... More the medical table it will only be a ship and thats no fun .”

“Like most LEGO Star Wars sets, this one is also designed primarily around working with minifigs, so proportions are usually off. In this case, the wings are about one-third smaller than they should be, and the landing skid struts are about two-thirds smaller. This is a... More marvelous set. It doesn’t have the gimmicks like I thought it would, but Emperor Palpatine’s Shuttle is a nice average set, just what I needed to fill that particular gap in my LEGO collection.”
