Prequel · Clone Wars · Empire
The will broke.
Darth Vader · The Chosen One
Conceived by the Force, freed from slavery, and trained by Obi-Wan Kenobi. The Clone Wars made him a hero and a husband in secret. Fear of loss delivered him to Sidious. As Darth Vader he hunted the Jedi, then died killing his master to save his son — fulfilling the prophecy by a road no Council expected.
Jedi Knight · Sith Lord. Human · Tatooine. 41 BBY. Force ghost.
Death
4 ABY
Died aboard the second Death Star after hurling Sidious down the shaft to save Luke. The Emperor’s lightning had already burned him out.
Touched the Force
Living Force
Life generates the field. The present is the lesson. Qui-Gon lived here; the Council often did not.
Balance
The Order said the Chosen One would bring it. They did not agree what the word meant.
Dark
The dark is the field bent to a will. Fear, anger, and the hunger to keep what death takes.
The bridge
Midi-chlorians did not invent the Force. They named how life hears it.
Mortis
Father, Daughter, Son — balance, light, dark — as people you can fail in a room with.
Push, pull, hold
The most filmed use. A crate, a throat, a fighter, a throne.
Speed
A burst. A vault. A duel that looks like a smear.
Foresight
Visions are true and incomplete. Anakin’s were both.
Choke
Vader’s first language after the mask. A warning wearing a body.
Absorb / deflect
Yoda eats lightning and throws it back. A Jedi answer to a Sith trick.
Keep a shape
A Jedi who finishes the Priestesses’ lesson can still speak. A Sith tries to steal a body instead.
Sith
A lineage that treats the field as a thing to be owned. Two is the doctrine. Betrayal is the homework.
The beginning
He wants the start of the Jedi/Sith cycle so he can end it. Peridea pointed. Mortis loomed. The show did not deliver the object.
What is balance
Destroy the Sith, or hold light and dark in a hand? The films lean one way. Mortis stages the other.
Vergence
A place — or a life — where the field is thick enough to name.
Netherworld of the Force
Death feeds the Cosmic. A few keep a face in that well and walk back.
Do droids hear it?
Midi-chlorians live in living cells. A droid has none. The field still knocks the blaster out of their hand.
