The Ones/Legends

Template:Organization infobox

"My children and I can manipulate the Force like no other. Therefore, it was necessary to withdraw from the temporal world and live here as anchorites."
"As a sanctuary?"
"And a prison. You cannot imagine what pain it is to have such love for your children…and realize that they could tear the very fabric of our universe."

―The Father and Anakin Skywalker

The Ones were a family of exceptionally powerful Force-wielders who lived on the planet Mortis during the Clone Wars. Led by the Father, the Son and Daughter were embodiments of the dark and light sides of the Force, respectively.

History

"It is only here that I can control them. A family in balance—the light and the dark. Day with night. Destruction replaced by creation."

―The Father

The Daughter sacrifices herself to protect the Father from the Son.

Prior to the Clone Wars, the Father took his children—the Son and the Daughter—to the remote, monolith-encased planet Mortis so that he might control them and keep the Force in balance. When the Father brought Jedi Knight Anakin Skywalker, Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano so that he might verify if Skywalker was the foretold Chosen One as prophecy held it, the Son attempted to kill his father with the Dagger of Mortis and remove him as an obstacle to escape from Mortis. However, the Daughter sacrificed herself, taking the blade for her father and causing the Force's balance to come undone.

The Son dies in the arms of his mortally injured father.

The Son made another attempt to kill the Father shortly afterward, but was shocked when the Father suddenly stole the Dagger and stabbed himself with it, weakening the Son so that he could be killed by Skywalker. Moments after the Son's death, the Father himself died, disappearing into the Force. With this, the Ones were destroyed, and Mortis itself disappeared in a flash of light, leaving the Jedi returned to mere moments after they encountered the monolith, with no evidence that the planet or its inhabitants had ever existed.
