Wat Tambor and the Quest for the Sacred Eye of the Albino Cyclops

"Wat Tambor and the Quest for the Sacred Eye of the Albino Cyclops" is a thirteen-page comic story written and illustrated by Michael Murnane. Murnane had previously worked as a concept artist on the 2002 prequel trilogy film, Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones, where he developed the design for Wat Tambor, the story's protagonist. Set within the Star Wars Legends continuity, the comic was published by Dark Horse Comics on April 2, 2005 in the graphic novel anthology Star Wars: Visionaries, which was created to highlight the work of the artists involved in the film Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, which premiered on May 19 of the same year.

The narrative follows Tambor as he is summoned by the Skakoan Elders to enter the mythical Threshold of the Hidden Realms to encounter the Eye of the Albino Cyclops. After receiving a replacement for his right eye, which was previously removed by the Jedi Anakin Skywalker, Tambor encounters figures such as the Lord Being of the Swirblies and the Four See Seers of the Cyclops before opening a box containing the Eye of the Albino Cyclops. It reveals a vision of Skywalker to him, and the story ends with Tambor's departure for the planet Mustafar, where the character meets his death at Skywalker's hands in Revenge of the Sith. At the time of its release, the comic was declared to be "possible continuity" by Holocron continuity database keeper Leland Chee, although concepts originated within it were referenced in other sources.
