Death

"Death is a natural part of life. Rejoice for those around you who transform into the Force."

- Yoda

Death was the cessation of life functions in biological organisms, permanently rendering it unresponsive to any external factors. Once a life ended, its spirit would ascended to a different plane of existence and become one with the Cosmic Force, however some Jedi were able to maintain their conscious individuality beyond death by learning the secrets of the Living Force.

Certain individuals who were not followers of the Jedi teachings often referred to the different plane where the dead reside as the "other side". Many individuals also sought a way to forestall death or even avoid it entirely. Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith whose knowledge of the midi-chlorians was said to be such that he had the ability to keep those he cared about from dying. Anakin Skywalker, desperately seeking a way to prevent what he had seen come to pass in his vision of the death of Padmé Amidala, was entranced when Darth Sidious told him a tale of this.
