LEGO Star Wars set 9491, Geonosian Cannon, depicts a Geonosian cannon with characters from the Star Wars licence. Released in 2012, it contains 133 pieces and belongs to the Star Wars theme, with a minifigure selection centred on Geonosis.

Geonosian Cannon is a LEGO Star Wars set focused on a Geonosian battlefield weapon. Within the Star Wars theme, it sits closer to ground combat scenery than to spacecraft or large vehicles, making it a compact way to represent conflict associated with Geonosis.

The set contains 133 pieces and 4 minifigures: Clone Commander Gree, 41st Elite Corps Armor, Dark Green Markings (3626b Head), Barriss Offee, Dark Blue Hood and Cape, Geonosian, Dark Tan, Wings, and Geonosian Zombie, Dark Bluish Gray, Wings. The build is centred on the cannon, with the figures providing the main narrative context.

It suits collectors interested in Star Wars minifigures and builders assembling small ground battle displays. Among sets from the same theme, it works as a supporting model, adding a Geonosian artillery element and a mixed character lineup that can be integrated into wider Clone Wars era displays.
