Dok-Ondar is universally recognized throughout the galaxy as the premier source for acquiring the most exceptionally rare and ancient items. However, obtaining these invaluable relics comes at a significant and ominous price. As the First Order intensifies its search for the concealed Resistance, the planet Batuu risks becoming the most perilous location in the entire galaxy. Embark on a journey to BLACK SPIRE OUTPOST and get a sneak peek at the themed area set to debut at Walt Disney World and Disneyland later this year. Featuring special appearances by the bounty hunter Greedo and the infamous gangster Jabba the Hutt!
In a retrospective scene, Ki-Adi-Mundi, a Jedi Master, engages in combat alongside his clone trooper unit. Suddenly, Order 66 is initiated, leading the clone troopers to eliminate the Cerean. Returning to the present, a First Order stormtrooper sergeant stands inside Dok-Ondar's Den of Antiquities, brandishing Ki-Adi-Mundi's lightsaber and issuing threats to Dok-Ondar. Unbeknownst to them, a hidden cam droid, planted by Remex Io, is recording their exchange for Remex and his fellow bounty hunters, Kendoh Voss and Wooro. The Kendoh Gang has devised a plan to steal a mysterious object from Dok-Ondar, but they require information about its location. After Wooro departs for a stroll, Kendoh and Remex Io deliberate on how they will divide the credits earned from the planned theft. During this conversation, Remex Io alters his appearance to resemble the First Order stormtrooper sergeant, only to be hushed by Kendoh. Returning to Dok-Ondar's establishment, the stormtrooper sergeant instructs Dok-Ondar to report any Resistance activity and threatens to destroy all the relics within the shop. Dok-Ondar, realizing the sergeant's lack of regard for history, proceeds to recount the story of how he acquired Ki-Adi-Mundi's lightsaber.
On the planet Mygeeto, the Banking Clan possesses Ki-Adi-Mundi's lightsaber, regarding it as a valuable artifact. Anolo, the Vice Chairman, has employed a Givin codebreaker to decipher codes essential for a conflict with the Hutts. As they engage in discussion, a projectile breaches the window, prompting the Vice Chairman to initiate an evacuation of the tower they occupy. The shot originated from Greedo, a Rodian bounty hunter, accompanied by Takvaa, a Kadas'sa'Nikto, dispatched on a mission by Jabba Desilijic Tiure to abduct the codebreaker. Back inside the tower, the Givin and Anolo continue their escape, escorted by some Muun guards. They halt momentarily, and the codebreaker observes that the wall is less substantial compared to those in Anolo's office. Suddenly, an explosion occurs, revealing Greedo and Takvaa. They commence firing upon the guards but find themselves rapidly overwhelmed. Greedo then uses Takvaa as a protective shield against an incoming attack, resulting in Takvaa's death. Greedo quickly eliminates Anolo and drags the Givin along with him as more guards appear. Greedo then locks himself and the codebreaker inside Anolo's office, but time is running out as the guards begin to breach the door. As the codebreaker continues to assess their chances of survival, Greedo instructs his other crew members to relocate the rendezvous point to his current location. He then seizes Ki-Adi-Mundi's lightsaber and shatters the window. A grappling hook is launched from a skiff to facilitate the extraction of the codebreaker and Greedo. The reluctant Givin informs Greedo that the grappling line will be unable to support his weight, but Greedo disregards this and pushes him onto it anyway, causing the codebreaker to plummet to his death.
Shortly thereafter at Jabba's Palace, Jabba the Hutt expresses profound disappointment in Greedo, who is kneeling and begging for his life. Just as Jabba is about to cast Greedo into the rancor pit, Dok-Ondar proposes to acquire Ki-Adi-Mundi's lightsaber from Greedo, offering Jabba double its value. Jabba consents and spares Greedo, dispatching him on another, less demanding assignment.
Many years later, Wooro is navigating the marketplace of Black Spire Outpost when he encounters a Wookiee obstructing his path. Wooro pushes the Wookiee over before departing, but the Wookiee retaliates and attempts to attack Wooro, only to be knocked out once more. However, this time the Wookiee rises and strikes back at Wooro. Wooro then proceeds to strike their head with a toy resembling a BB-series astromech droid. Wooro reports the Wookiee to the authorities as a suspected member of the Resistance, with the intention of creating a diversion and prompting the stormtroopers to leave so they can retrieve a Sith artifact the following day.
