Legends. This article is part of Legends: the expanded-universe stories that Lucasfilm set apart from canon in 2014.

DJ-88, or Dee-Jay, was a class three droid affiliated with the old Jedi Order. A white, humanoid droid with red photoreceptors, DJ-88 was designed by its Jedi creator to protect the Lost City of the Jedi, a secret library and terraforming station located deep below the surface of Yavin 4.

When the infant Ken was brought to the Lost City by a brown-robed Jedi Master, DJ-88 became his tutor. The ancient droid acted as a surrogate father to the young Jedi Prince, until Ken encountered Luke Skywalker and became the youngest member of the Alliance to Restore the Republic in 5 ABY.

DJ-88's "life" ended the same year, when the pseudo-Kadann, an agent of the Galactic Empire posing as the Supreme Prophet of the Dark Side, raided the Lost City and ordered the deactivation of the old droid.
