"Expert reviewers are in unusual agreement that the Death Star Cannon is the weakest value in the 2019 Star Wars lineup: its BrickScore of 44.8 reflects a cramped two-figure build at an unjustified $19.99, with only the new Obi-Wan Kenobi hood mold saving it from being a complete pass, and the 4.80-star Amazon average represents a casual-gift audience rather than a verdict on the set's quality."
The 2019 Death Star Cannon (75246) is rated Skip It with a BrickScore of 44.8, and the expert consensus is clear: this 159-piece set at $19.99 is overpriced for what it delivers. Brickset, Solid Brix Studios, and JANG all identified the two-minifigure count and small, cramped build as core problems, with JANG stating outright that he does not find the set interesting or compelling. The divergence with owner ratings is stark: Amazon and Walmart buyers give it 4.80 stars across over 2,200 reviews, while LEGO.com buyers are more measured at 3.83 and only 79% would recommend it. The new Obi-Wan Kenobi hood mold is the set's only genuinely praised element across all expert voices.
Where they split: This is the clearest critic-owner split in the batch. Amazon and Walmart buyers average 4.80 stars across more than 2,200 reviews; expert reviewers scored it 60, 45, and 30 respectively. JANG said outright he did not like it; Solid Brix called it battle-pack level content at the wrong price. The casual buyer market responded very differently from the enthusiast press, likely because the minifigures satisfy gift-givers and young fans even when the build itself underwhelms.

"75246 Death Star Cannon combines this terminal and an interesting laser cannon turret which varies from previous designs. That combination appears slightly unusual but seems effective."

The Death Star Cannon is a well-received budget set that delivers solid fun and two good minifigures for the price, with only minor gripes about display appeal and piece-per-dollar value.
