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

A gong was a musical instrument. When struck with the appropriate force, the gong produced a loud, resonating tone. In the years preceding the rise of Palpatine's Galactic Empire, the Jedi kept a gong in their temple. It was used to signal time, being struck at the top of every hour.

Dinner gongs, a specific type of gongs, were used to signal the readiness of nightmeal, particularly among Wookiees.

Smuggler's Rest had a drink gong that sounded whenever bought a round of drinks.
