Legends Canon version → Linked from 9 articles

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

Garn was a desolate world of craggy rocks and dead trees shrouded in a dense yellow fog, located in the Cadma sector of the Outer Rim. The planet was once home to the Force-wielding order known as the Order of the Terrible Glare thousands of years before the Galactic Civil War, until the Jedi Order laid waste to Garn at the climax of a war between the two organizations. Although the Terrible Glare was completely wiped out, their High Shaman, Rur, preserved an aspect of his consciousness by uploading his personality to a computer system in his citadel on ruined Garn. A vengeful Rur lured a number of passing Jedi to their demise with false distress calls over a period of thousands of years, until aspiring Jedi Luke Skywalker broke the news that the Great Jedi Purge had destroyed the Jedi Order—unable to comprehend that his vengeance was out of reach, the remnants of Rur's mind self-destructed.
