Actually, I googled "Uhl Eharl Khoehng" and found a review of a book called, "Tales From the New Republic"
Edited by Peter Schweighofer and Craig Carey. "Uhl Eharl Koehng" by Patricia A. Jackson is one of the short stories in the book.
Here is a review by Toryn Farr:
"First, I must say I rankle whenever yet another Jedi or Dark Jedi turns up after the purge. But this young Jedi woman, Fable Astin, is openly walking around with a lightsaber and working for the Rebellion. Nope. I'm sorry. There's no way I can believe she would be left alive considering her lack of skills. The title refers to a play she witnesses -- a tragedy with a high body count. A hunch tells her to follow the lead actor, whom she befriends. She discovers his father was an Imperial Inquisitor, a Jedi hunter, who has faked his own death. The father then becomes her mentor and trains her to face the Dark Jedi who nearly killed her before. The climax gets a bit confusing, as the last battle seems to parallel the tragic events of the play. Convoluted, and too much for my suspension of disbelief. D"
Poor Toryn. I bet that he'd "rankle" himself to death if he ever played SWG.
Interesting. Yes, the reviewer would die if he played SWG. This further confirms the information about this being a play.

Am I the only one that thinks this poster looks like an Aztec about to sacrifice someone?

LoL
By the way, I looted several of these (and a bunch of other new loot) by going to Mos Eisley and hitting the Valarian spawn just outside the Cantina. They respawn as soon as you loot them. Using this method, you should be able to get a poster in 5 minutes or less.

400 years before the Battle of Yavin:
The great Old Corellian tragedy "Uhl Eharl Khoehng" ("The Trickster King"), generally regarded as one of the greatest in all the galaxy is first written and performed.
The title comes from the Old Corellian term, ‘khoehng’, which means king. The word ‘eharl’ is a Socorran mythological term which refers to an elf or trickster. Thus, the translation of the title into Basic yields "The Trickster King." ‘. . . claiming that the burned-out trees and blackened soil were ". . . the only kingdom I deserve to rule, and the only kingdom that the Eharl Khoehng can claim." He then submitted himself to the Eharl Khoehng and mutters the famous last line, "Long . . . live . . . the king."
Star Wars Adventure Journal #8, via Chris McElroy's Time Tales.
Real Life: "Eharl Khoehng" sounds suspisciously like "Erlkoenig" to me.
"Der Erlkoenig" is apoem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. Here is a site with the text:
