The Full Take
For $20, the Death Star Cannon ships with a Death Star trooper and an Imperial officer, and that minifig density is rare at this price point. The build is quick — we're talking a single sitting, probably under 30 minutes — so don't come in expecting an afternoon project. What you get is a tidy little display piece with a functional cannon and two solid Imperial characters that slot into any Star Wars collection. The dark grey palette is clean and fits the Death Star aesthetic without any awkward color breaks. It's not a centerpiece, but it was never trying to be one. At $19.99 this is the kind of set that fills a gap without emptying a wallet.
