Prequel
The current listens.
The Master who would not sit on the Council. He found Anakin, died on Naboo, and spent his afterlife teaching Yoda how to keep a voice after death.
Jedi Master. Human · Coruscant. 92 BBY. Force ghost.
Death
32 BBY
Run through by Darth Maul in the generator complex on Naboo.
Touched the Force
Living Force
Life generates the field. The present is the lesson. Qui-Gon lived here; the Council often did not.
Cosmic Force
All living energy feeds a larger will. Destiny, binding, what speaks after death.
The bridge
Midi-chlorians did not invent the Force. They named how life hears it.
Speed
A burst. A vault. A duel that looks like a smear.
Influence
A weak mind, a strong voice. The trick is not a rewrite of a life.
Keep a shape
A Jedi who finishes the Priestesses’ lesson can still speak. A Sith tries to steal a body instead.
Unifying Force
Destiny, binding, the view from above the room. Cosmic is the later name for much of the same well.
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.
