Legends is separate from Canon, so a lot of the backstory isn’t really official since Disney purchased Lucasfilm and discarded a lot of content. From Disney’s perspective, it is simply an “ancient battle” as the Star Wars Legends (or Expanded Universe) and the battle that it depicts didn’t really happen as we know it. This unique piece has quite the backstory, depending on who tells it. Right when you walk through the circular entrance, you’ll find a bas-relief of an ancient space battle. We’ll start at the entrance to the store, and perhaps a piece that is often looked at, but often overlooked. Instead of focusing on what’s for sale in Dok-Ondar’s shop, we’re going to focus on those items that are too rare to have a price tag…yet. Dok-Ondar has hired everyone from Hondo Ohnaka to Han Solo to retrieve rare goods, and has set up shop right in the middle of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to separate you from a few credits (dollars) during your visit. Of course, that makes him the perfect Ithorian to set up shop in Black Spire Outpost. Dok-Ondar has traversed the galaxy in search of rare and valuable treasures to turn a profit. We’ll start with perhaps the first question that most guests ask: Who is Dok-Ondar? Put simply, Dok-Ondar is a collector.
We’ll typically have a few different relics in each post, but for our first post we wanted to focus on one item in particular – the wooden bas-relief that each and every guest walks by when entering the Den. In Dok’s Den, we’ll go through as many relics as we have photos of from Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities and do a write up on their backstory. Today, we wanted to kick off a series of an unknown number of posts called Dok’s Den. As a matter of fact, we have a lot of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge photos that we need to find a home for, but that’s another story. To that end, we found that we took a lot of photos of Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities that we never really got around to posting. While we’re stuck at home and away from the Disney Parks, we found it to be a good time to go through the terabytes of photos we have from around the parks and organize a bit.
