[edit] Synopsis
Kit Parson, Jedi Master Bendeen's newest apprentice, is trying to hone his skills as he is about to go on his first mission. At the same time, Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors are asked by Mon Mothma to accompany the two Jedi. Bendeen tells them that Jonos Belot, a former weapons smuggler turned spice trader, may be hoping to restart a new civil war between the sister planets On'dos and Cod'os, as they are preparing to negotiate peace. Kyle and Kit are to go to Jonos' compound to find anything out, while Bendeen and Jan try to find the ship and freighter captain that might be carrying Jonos' cargo. Jan is seriously disturbed as she previously was in a serious relationship with Jonos.
Kyle and Kit make their way to Jono's compound, but are attacked by his guards and droids and are soon seriously outnumbered, until Jonos himself comes and orders them to stop firing on the Jedi. Jonos hears the accusation and firmly denies any involvement in the shipping, and offers for them to stay and tour the compound. Celeese, Jonos' "personal assistant," gives Kit a tour, and there are hints of a possible attraction between them. The next day, Kit interrupts Celeese's praying, but she forgives him and tells him of the previous civil war between On'dos and Cod'os, where she used to be from, that was started by Count Dooku and the Separatist movement. Celeese and Kit share a kiss, and Kit receives a strange vision in the Force, breaking the kiss off. Celeese apologizes and says that the kiss goes against her people's traditions and she must now do a cleansing ritual. Kit also apologizes and asks to help.
Meanwhile, Jan and Bendeen find the planet the ship was on, and locate it within a cave. There, they discover the illegal shipments, and the crew all dead. They hide when two thugs and the freighter captain come in. The thugs kill the captain, but then they notice Jan's forgotten blaster. Bendeen and Jan break cover and fight the thugs. One gets away and sets a bomb, while the other kills himself before Bendeen can get any information. As they escape the doomed ship, Bendeen notices a tattoo on the dead thug's arm.
At Jonos' compound, Kit helps Celeese with the cleansing ritual, and Celeese removes part of her clothing to reveal the same tattoo on her back. She gives Kit her sacred praying stone, but uses its power to render him unconscious. She uses a comlink to tell someone to pick her and Kit up. Little does she know that one of Jonos' droids saw and recorded everything...

[edit] Trivia
- Kit uses Spince Larrin's lightsaber, from the first film, as his own in this film.
- Nathan Blaine, who played Spince Larrin in the first film, was supposed to play the thug in the ship who fought Jan. When he took ill, Webb Pickersgill, who played the spirit of Jerec, filled in.
- Fool's Errand and Reflections of Evil were initially written as one whole script, but — due to the length — the script was split into two movies.
- The planet On'dos in the film is a reference to one of the earlier drafts of Star Wars where it ended with the characters going out to search for the princess of Ondos.
[edit] Goofs
- In the previous film Spirits of the Force, it is referenced that the film takes place during or after The New Jedi Order novels. However in this film, Mon Mothma appears to be alive and well even though she died before the series.
