Netherworld of the Force/Legends



"An old friend, from the Netherworld of the Force..."

- Yoda

The Netherworld of the Force was the place the souls of Force-sensitives apparently went after their physical bodies died. Qui-Gon Jinn went to this realm after dying, but managed to return from it back to the physical universe as a Force ghost. Anakin Skywalker learned this from Obi-Wan Kenobi after he died upon the Second Death Star. Obi-Wan's spirit departed to this realm after having one final talk with Luke Skywalker in 9 ABY. Yoda was also seen in this realm, where he reunited the recently deceased Vila with her brother Denin and promised he would train both of them. Most Jedi including Yoda and Qui-Gon Jinn, however, believed that people who died and were not able to become Force Ghosts lost their consciousness and individual identities and "became one with the Force."

Chaos was considered to be a region of the netherworld where dark side spirits, such as those of former Dark Lords of the Sith were thought to inhabit upon death.
