Plot summary
A nervous and stuttering rock miner arrives at Horn Station, requiring emergency repairs on his ship's stabilizer. He is told he'll have to wait two days for a new stabilizer to come in. He goes to the local cantina and meets a woman named Kirry, as well as a brute named Kerlo, demanding his credits. The two get into a standoff, but the miner is able to shoot Kerlo down. A Rodian comes in and invites the miner to a showdown against professional blastfighter Shoto Eyefire, tomorrow, just after sunrise. The next day, the miner goes to Shoto's fortress and enters the arena, confronted with two men on high platforms carrying rifles. Shoto enters and, after a few moments, yells "NOW!", and, less than a split second later, is shot in the legs by the miner. The miner takes out a lightsaber and injures the two riflemen, throwing stun grenades around to keep the audience busy. He plants a detonator and leaves, destroying Shoto's fortress. The next day, the miner cum Jedi, dressed in full robes, prepares to leave, but is asked for his name by Kirry. He says he'll tell her next time he sees her, and leaves.
