Unidentified Sith temple

The title of this article is conjectural.

Although this article is based on canonical information, the actual name of this subject is pure conjecture.

A Sith temple was built to honor^[1] the Dark Lord of the Sith^[2] Exar Kun. It once contained an obsidian slab inscribed with Kun's name,^[3] as well as hieroglyphs representing warding spells.^[1] It was constructed at some point during or after Kun's time, thousands of years before the time of the Sith Lords Darth Sidious and his apprentice Darth Maul.^[2]

At some point during or before 10 BBY,^[4] the crime lord Dryden Vos of Crimson Dawn plundered the temple, obtaining a stone slab carved with the warding spells^[1] and an inscription reading "Our temple honouring Sith Lord Exar Kun."^[3] Vos had the obsidian mounted into a desk which he kept in his study aboard the yacht First Light.^[1]

Behind the scenes[]

"The central desk, which represents the administrative seat of his power, is a bespoke piece of furniture. The stone base, that Dryden has plundered from the Sith temple of Exar Kun, is made from polished obsidian and decorated with carved hieroglyphs representing spells that protected its former home."

―Lee Sandales^[5]

The temple was first mentioned, albeit in an untranslated inscription, in the 2018 Star Wars Anthology film Solo: A Star Wars Story,^[3] and was identified as a Sith temple in the accompanying reference book Solo: A Star Wars Story The Official Guide, which was written by Pablo Hidalgo.^[1] In concept art for Solo, the temple Vos plundered was identified as the Sith temple of Exar Kun.^[5] The temple's connection to Kun was confirmed as canon when Twitter user AurekFonts translated the slab's inscription.^[6]
