Elee was the nickname given by the human Salju to a pet that her father brought back for her from his travels when she was youngling. Elee was a small and hairy quadruped, and the gentlest creature Salju had ever met.[4] She kept it as a pet on Batuu until Elee grew too big and was moved to live with a family of her own kind in the Surabat River Valley. When Salju ran Black Spire Station during the war between the First Order and the Resistance, she often visited Elee and they played as they did when they were young.[3]
Behind the scenes
Elee was first mentioned in Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, which opened to guests at Disneyland on May 31. She was conceived for an unbuilt third attraction for Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge often informally referred to as "the Bantha ride", where guests could ride a full-sized animatronic Elee around Black Spire Outpost, a concept which was eventually dropped for budgetary reasons.[5]
