Savi & Son Salvage


The Savi & Son Salvage company on Batuu salvaged starships in a junkyard outside of Black Spire Outpost, and sold metal and other items within the outpost at Savi's Workshop. The workshop was also a front for the Gatherers to protect artifacts and history related to the Jedi Order, and to guide visitors in constructing their own lightsabers.

Description


Savi & Son Salvage was a business located on the Outer Rim planet Batuu, centered around Black Spire Outpost and its outskirts. Savi and his employees did sell scrap metal and parts salvaged from wrecked starships in the junkyard on the outskirts of the outpost, but they were also a group of Jedi admirers and believers in the Force who were known as the Gatherers. Most locals referred to them as "scrappers." The Gatherers would sort through finds from the starships for possible items of interest that were presented to Savi for his evaluation. If he determined that they were likely historic artifacts, they were preserved and protected rather than sold. Within the outpost's Land Port, Savi's Workshop ostensibly served as a main office and workshop, but in reality housed a secret area where the Gatherers taught visitors about the Jedi Order.

History


As of 34 ABY, Savi had operated the business for multiple decades, although the author Eloc Throno wrote in his book Traveler's Guide to Batuu that he had never seen the "son" indicated in its name despite his years of visiting Batuu. The motto of the company was, according to Throno, "We'll take your (s)crap."

In 34 ABY, the Gatherers helped like-minded visitors create their own custom lightsabers within Savi's Workshop. the location's true nature was hidden because the First Order occupiers of Batuu were not fond of the group's ideals.

Behind the scenes


Savi & Son Salvage is a part of the backstory of Disney Parks' Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge. Savi's Workshop is a store where guests can build their own lightsabers by appointment, while the junkyard is represented by a labeled archway elsewhere in the theme park area. The book Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge: Traveler's Guide to Batuu further explains that Savi's salvage business is a real one despite its other hidden aspects.

Though referred to in most print sources as "Savi and Son Salvage," Galaxy's Edge: Black Spire erroneously calls it "Savi and Sons Salvage."
