Dowager Queen

The Dowager Queen was an early colony ship that crashed on Tatooine long before the Galactic Civil War. The upended wreckage later became a landmark in the spaceport town of Mos Eisley, located at the intersection of Dune Street and Inner Curved Street.^[1]

Behind the scenes[]

"You seen the Dowager Queen? When it crashed here long ago, its passengers became Mos Eisley's first settlers. If they could see this dump now, they'd probably wish that they'd crashed on Mustafar! Har!"

―A citizen of Mos Eisley^[2]

In the 2022 non-canon video game LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga players can find a kyber brick within the hotel as part of the puzzle mission "Dowager Downer." The mission is given by a Toydarian in Chalmun's Spaceport Cantina who asks the player if they are staying in the Dowager Queen hotel then points out that it does not look like a secure place. The player must then destroy several crates leaning against the base of the Dowager Queen in order to access an astromech droid port built into the ship.^[2]

Activating the port lowers several panels on the side of the ship which the player can then climb to reach a grappling point toward the top of the vessel. Hooking onto the grappel point pulls away a wall of the Dowager Queen, revealing a room inside where a stormtrooper is bathing in a golden bathtub while holding the kyber brick and singing along to The Imperial March. Shooting the golden bathtub causes it to heat up and then explode, causing the trooper to cry out and fall from the hotel with the brick before landing unconscious on the ground. The player can then collect the brick from the trooper's body and complete the mission.^[2]
