2009 is the 51st year since LEGO's patent on its interlocking bricks. This year also celebrates the 10th anniversary of Star Wars LEGO, and this is commemorated with the release of the 8017 Darth Vader's TIE Fighter. This year brings to a close the Mars Mission theme, while new themes and subthemes such as Space Police III, City Farm, Bionicle Glatorian, Power Miners and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom will be released. 2009 also reintroduces the Pirates theme, twelve years after the previous Pirates sets were made.
