As Chancellor Palpatine once said, " [The] Dark Side of the Force is a pathway that many abilities consider to be unnatural." My instincts/feelings have brought me here after many months since the Earthlings opened up the entrance to Baatu, the Black Spire Outpost. My search has finally come to bear witness and to hold a powerful lightsaber that will strike down the Jedi! Make way for Darth Ryan at Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities at Baatu, the Black Spire Outpost in Galaxy's Edge at Disneyland.
After opening Galaxy's Edge in May 2019, the Black Spire Outpost in Baatu has been heavily crowded bringing hundreds of thousands, if not millions from all over the country and beyond. My soul firmly led me to a location hidden from the First Order, but open to the Resistance. I have found where my path leads me to. This is no scrap metal shop, this is home to both Sith/Jedi Legacy Lightsabers. You will find Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities with multiple statues outside of his facility.
Once you walk in, you will notice a panel of the history of war between the Rebellion/Resistance/Jedi vs the Imperial/First Order/Sith. Then, you will see all the collectible items from the top of the ceiling to the bottom of the floor. You will see items from the past from the Clone Wars to the current war with the First Order. There are statues/figurines that you can purchase from a copy of Supreme Leader Snoke to Darth Vader's Castle. If you are in search of your true path, you can purchase Holocrons and Kyber Crystals. If you build your own Lightsabers, the Kyber Crystals, both Sith and Jedi, and other accessories can be purchased at Dok-Ondar's, but are behind the counter since they are highly valuable items. No Droid Accessories can be found here. I don't think Dok Ondar likes droids in shop...only scrap pieces anyways.
The TRUE HIGHLIGHT of Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities: THE LEGACY LIGHTSABERS. When Galaxy's Edge opened in May 2019, within a week or two, the Lightsaber inventory was GONE! My soul told me to wait and I came in at the right time in the year, 2020. Dok Ondar has a collection of lightsabers from Jedi Master, Obi-wan Kenobi, to Sith Lord, Darth Vader. Even the new inventory has the re-forged Luke Skywalker Lightsaber to the Dark Lord, Kylo Ren's. I wanted to harness imperfection while trying to fulfill a void in my life with Power and Control! I wanted...KYLO REN'S LIGHTSABER!!
The broken Kyber Crystal that powers the lightsaber giving it a crackling sound to it's enemy. The three bladed lightsaber makes this a perfect weapon. Kylo Ren's Lightsaber is priced at $149. It comes with the two side blades and a special surprise: a Belt Clip! The other lightsabers have a D ring or another connection that requires a separate purchase. Caveat: The main blade is not included with any of the legacy lightsabers. HOWEVER, they are all compatible with all lightsabers including those who made their own at Savi's Workshop. Savi's Workshop Blade is 31" and is free with the purchase to build your lightsaber. At Dok Ondar's, you can purchase a 26" Blade for $44.99 or a 36" Blade for $49.99. AP Discounts are only valid for the blades and NOT FOR ANY OF THE LEGACY LIGHTSABERS. The Scrap keepers will allow you to test them with your preferred legacy lightsaber with the blades. You can ask them many questions. All Legacy Lightsabers comes with complimentary batteries.
Kylo Ren's Lightsaber is HEAVY. It has to be a good 4-5lbs without the blade. With the Blade, you will feel the power that Kylo Ren once had and you can continue on with his dream. Take this bad boy of a lightsaber out to Baatu and take wonderful photos with the citizens of Black Spire Outpost. I am very impressed with the detail of the lightsaber including imperfect wire that comes out that Kylo Ren utilizes. The LAST surprise of the Legacy Lightsabers, they all come with a display box with the era symbol of that wielder of the lightsaber. It will make any Star Wars Fan eager to collect them all.
I am glad I waited many months after opening, but there will be more lightsabers in the coming future, including the possibility of Rey's Lightsaber at the end of Rise of Skywalker or even Count Dooku from the Clone Wars or Darth Sideous from Revenge of the Sith. There are many more lightsaber wielders that may pass through Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities and we'll be watching. As much as I would like to build my own lightsaber, the history of your own lightsaber cannot be connected with any famous Sith/Jedi. That is why I went all the way with a Legacy Lightsaber. As Emperor Palpatine says, "Once more the Sith shall rule the galaxy. And we shall have... peace."
