Duel on Geonosis

"Set 75017 lands in the Skip It tier with a 57 BrickScore because the scene it recreates is too narrow and the key duel characters (Obi-Wan, Anakin) are missing, but if you need the first-ever Poggle the Lesser, the definitive movie-accurate Count Dooku, or the updated prequel Yoda, owners overwhelmingly agree (4.76 out of 5) that the minifig lineup alone justified the purchase."

Set 75017 Duel on Geonosis sits in the Skip It tier with a BrickScore of 57, which reflects an honest split between its undeniable minifigure lineup and a set design that critics found underwhelming. Owner ratings present the sharpest divergence in this batch: 4.76 out of 5 across 28 ratings with 94% recommending it, while the expert BrickScore lands at 57. Buyers raved about the new Yoda head mold, the long-awaited movie-accurate Count Dooku, and the first-ever Poggle the Lesser figure; the structural play features, the small scene scale for the price, and the exclusion of Obi-Wan and Anakin drove the critical skepticism that pulls the score down.

Where they split: The agreement rating is low, and the owner-versus-expert gap here is the widest in the batch. Buyers on LEGO.com and Walmart gave the set 4.76 out of 5 and 94% would recommend it, clearly driven by the minifigure desirability. Expert-weighted scoring penalizes the sparse scene design and missing key characters, producing a 57 BrickScore and a Skip It tier. Buyers who purchased for the figures got what they wanted; those expecting a substantive set did not.
