The Journals of Ood Bnar was a series of journals presumably written by Ood Bnar, a legendary Jedi Master who lived during the time of the Great Sith War. Although the existence of the Journals of Ood Bnar was debated by the time of the Battle of Yavin, it was still sought by treasure hunters. The explorer Riyan Kiner became utterly insane after spending his life looking for this fabled artifact.
