Tohan Lege, known as the Lore-weaver, was a historian who lived in Black Spire Outpost on the planet Batuu long before the First Order-Resistance War. Dedicated to telling stories, he fled persecution from those who would silence his voice and found refuge and a home in Black Spire Outpost. From there, he collected an oral history from local Batuuans, and chronicled the colorful and fiery stories of the area. He wrote down stories of Jedi and Sith, as well as many stories of conflicts that touched the outpost.
At some point, Lege found an old, discarded R1-series astromech droid behind the Droid Depot in the Land Port of Black Spire Outpost. With the help of local mechanics, he used junk parts to make a new functional droid. He named this new droid Bard, and the two recorded the entirety of Lege's collected history of Black Spire Outpost.
By 34 ABY, Lege was long since deceased, but Bard remained in Black Spire Outpost to share the stories of the Lore-weaver. The droid played recordings those stories for the local festival known as the Fire of the Rising Moons.
Tohan Lege was created for the nighttime spectacular Fire of the Rising Moons at Disneyland, which provided an alternative view of the park's firework shows from Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge set to iconic Star Wars music. He serves as the announcer of the show leading into the launch of the fireworks. The character debuted with the show on April 6, 2024 as part of the Season of the Force event.
