Synopsis: While undergoing Jedi exercises, Luke Skywalker intercepts a distress transmission from the planet Garn. He arrives on the foreboding planet, drawn towards a tower where inside he experiences a terrifying vision of being overwhelmed by horrible creatures. The visions are caused by soul-snares, twisted instruments of confinement that trap the tortured spirits of Jedi Knights from thousands of years ago. As Luke journeys deeper into the temple, he finds evidence of the Order of the Terrible Glare, a sect that sparked a monstrous war with the Jedi Knights of antiquity. Five pages.

There is the sudden touch of sticky fur upon his neck. Fingers as cold and slimy as albumen wrap around his eyes. He is blind now. Soon they will have him..."
