Mortis/Legends

"I don't understand. What is this place?''" "''Unlike any other. A conduit through which the entire Force of the universe flows."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi and the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn

Mortis was a planet in the extremely remote Chrelythiumn system that was a conduit for the entire Force of the galaxy. Enclosed in a gigantic monolith, the planet became home to a family of powerful Force users&mdash;the Father, Son, and Daughter&mdash;years prior to the Clone Wars.

History
"Are we in danger?''" "''This planet is both an amplifier and a magnet. Three are here who seek Skywalker. They, like me, believe him to be the Chosen One."

- Obi-Wan Kenobi and the spirit of Qui-Gon Jinn

During the Clone Wars, the aging Father drew Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker to Mortis so that Skywalker could replace him as the keeper of the peace between his rival children, the Son and Daughter, who represented the light and dark sides of the Force, respectively. Skywalker arrived on Mortis with Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padawan Ahsoka Tano, but the Son separated Skywalker from his companions and took Tano hostage in an attempt to turn Skywalker to the dark side of the Force.

Behind the scenes
"After years of vague hints about the Prophecy of the Chosen One, The Clone Wars drops a bombshell in Season Three. On the remote world of Mortis, Anakin Skywalker meets strange beings and faces his destiny. Is he the Chosen One, and what course must he choose to determine the fate of the galaxy?"
