Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities Is Fascinating


One of the most alien shops in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge is Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities. The shop is decorated as though it was really a collection of antiques collected across the galaxy. There's so much to look at! Just outside the shop, you'll notice a few statues, including one of a Jedi master originally seen outside the Jedi Temple on Coruscant.


As you enter the shop, you'll see an ancient Jedi battle scene, formerly seen hanging on a wall in Palpatine's office.


There are intriguing creatures everywhere you look in Dok Ondar's. One wall in features an interesting collection of alien taxidermy, including a Tauntaun head from Hoth. A Nexu, like the one that attacked Padme in the Geonosian arena, is another of the mounted heads. There are also several weapons, like a Gamorrean axe.


Have you ever wondered what a Sarlacc looks like beneath the surface? Well here's your chance to see the creature from Tatooine in all its glory.


This adorable critter is called an Ollopom. It is found in the Gungan Swamps on Naboo, where it is often mistaken for a plant.


This tank contains a young Dianoga, the same species as the creature that attacked Luke Skywalker in the trash compactor.


Everywhere you look, you'll see both familiar and exotic collectibles. There are weapons and helmets from Stormtroopers, Imperial Guards, and one that looks like Leia's Boushh disguise.


And finally, you can see Dok Ondar himself. The Ithorian collector keeps watch over his shop from a cage near the counter. In addition to all of the amazing references to 40 years of Star Wars films, Dok Ondar's Den of Antiquities does have items for sale, though they may cause a bit of sticker shock. The holocrons, both Jedi and Sith, are really cool, but cost $50. There are Jedi robes and accessories, Sith costumes, and even a white Leia dress from A New Hope. There's so much to look at that I can't wait to stop in again.
