Shelish

* YourDaysAreNumbered: Because of their unusual diet and being transplanted out of their natural environment, many of the Nameless raised in Nihil captivity have ''very'' low life-expectancy if they aren't euthanized immediately because of severe birth defects. Niv Drendow Apruk has been going to great pains to circumvent this, having seen a ''mild'' degree of success with Grendrek after coating their egg in mycopram (which to elaborate, [[ItMakesSenseInContext is an anti-aging cream made from a fungus]]), and seeks to repeat this success by getting more mycopram. Emphasis on the "mild" part, as Grendrek and Niv Drendow's other baby Nameless are still visibly decaying.

* PetTheDog: He is completely neutral to the conflict and only gets involved so he can go back to sleep, but he still helps Kanan and Ezra with their problems and smiles when they reconcile.

* PetTheDog: He is completely neutral to the conflict and only gets involved so he can go back to sleep, but he still helps Kanan and Ezra with their problems and smiles when they reconcile.

* TheDreaded: Given what they can do to Force users just by being around them, they are one of the only things that scare the Jedi. After the fall of Starlight Beacon (and the role Nameless played in it), the Jedi that are accounted for [[KnowWhenToFoldEm pull out of the Outer Rim and regroup]] because of how dangerous they are and how little they know about them. When Velko Jahen gets a report of just ''one'' Nameless being on Ballum when Keeve Trennis's team are trying to prevent a Nihil-Hutt alliance, she realizes the mission is already compromised and orders the Jedi [[RunOrDie to disengage immediately]].

* HorrorHunger: The Jedi that have been around them can sense a constant hunger from the Nameless. ''Eye of the Storm'' 2 suggests this hunger was born as a result of [[EldritchLocation their homeworld]] being so in touch with the Force, and being pulled out of their natural ecosystem causes them to starve and try to seek out nourishment from other Force-rich sources. The control rods seem to be the only thing that can keep this hunger in check.

* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Adult Nameless, such as "the protector", are ''very'' protective of their eggs. When an expedition team lead by Sunshine Dobbs comes to Planet X to gather some Nameless eggs for the Path, the protector chases after them, even holding on to the escaping ''Silverstreak'' while in flight.]]

* MiracleGroMonster: Upon hatching from their jewel-like eggs, Nameless can go from being about the size of a kitten to the size of a mountain lion in a matter of minutes after feeding on one Force user. ''Path of Vengeance'' reveals that even then, they aren't fully matured. [[spoiler:True adult Nameless are even more monstrous.]]

* ShroudedInMyth: Prior to the Nameless being weaponized by the Nihil, the only well-known reference to the creatures' existence was a nursery rhyme that began with the line "shrii ka rai ka rai" (which could also be found carved in the walls of the Kharvashark Ruins on Vrant Tarnum). They are also mentioned in a prophecy pertaining to the Chosen One, particularly how the sacrifices of many Jedi will repay an unspecified sin committed against the Nameless. [[spoiler:Part of this is because Jedi Masters Creighton Sun and Yoda decided to keep details regarding the Battle of Dalna -- where the Nameless were weaponized in numbers by the [[AntiMagicalFaction Path of the Open Hand]] -- under wraps because of the panic that the idea of such a creature could generate, and because they didn't know how to deal with them at the time. Sure enough, this decision came back to bite the Jedi Order 150 years later.]]

* CompositeCharacter: They seem to borrow elements from a few creatures that posed a threat to Jedi and other Force users in some way in ''Legends''. Their ability to [[AntiMagic cut Jedi off from the Force]] is similar to the [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy Ysalamiri's]] passive Force negation. Their applications as [[MageHuntingMonster predators of Jedi]] is similar to the Vornskr, [[Literature/NewJediOrder Voxyn]] and [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Terentatek]]. And their ability to cause psychosis in Force users while feeding on the Force within them is similar to [[Literature/FateOfTheJedi Abeloth's]].

* TakenForGranite: Those killed by the Nameless end up being left as brittle, petrified husks that will crumble to dust upon being touched, if not ReducedToDust right away from prolonged exposure alone. To keep this from becoming fatal, however, [[TwinTelepathy Terec and Ceret]] go into a hibernative trance to stall the petrification.
* VampiricDraining: They feed on the living Force itself, which can be found in just about any living creature in the galaxy. Force users are especially appetizing targets for them.

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/rebels_412_413_databank_world_between_worlds_main_image_9a9a8698.jpeg]]

->'''Location:''' Outside of the space-time continuum
->'''Appearances:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' | [[spoiler:''Series/{{Ahsoka}}'']]

-->''"This place is ancient. Like a world between worlds."''
--->-- '''Ahsoka Tano'''

A cosmic plane that exists outside of the space-time continuum. It contains numerous gateways to different points in space and time. At least a couple gateways exist on Lothal, Malachor, and Coruscant.
----
* AllThereInTheManual: The guide book for ''Film/TheRiseOfSkywalker'' shows that one of the books from the ancient Jedi temple on Ahch-To has a picture of the World Between Worlds relating to a theory of its existence known as the Chain Worlds Theorem. It is also known as the place between places, the Netherworld of Unbeing and the Vergence Scatter. The part where is it written about in the Sacred Texts described the Force as a ribbon across all reality, and it could be traversed through this place.
* AmbiguousSituation:
** As to whether or not a portal to Kanan's death actually existed. After Ezra and Ahsoka reject using it, Palpatine appears in the same portal, suggesting that he was trying to bait them in. In addition, it seems strange as to why there would be a portal in the middle of a city rather than a temple or another Force-centric area like the other known portal locations.
** In ''ComicBook/DarthVaderDarkLordOfTheSith'', the ambiguity is raised with regards to whether or not the Sith Lord Momin used it to revive himself by having his past self come to the future was by done by opening a rift in time within this realm or if the realm Vader entered to bring back Padmé to life was this place as well.
* DarkIsNotEvil: The portal at the Lothal Jedi Temple is destroyed via activating the mural of the Son. [[NoManShouldHaveThisPower Given the circumstances at the time]], it wasn't an act of evil.
* EarlyBirdCameo: It isn't properly introduced until ''Rebels'' episode "A World Between Worlds", but it sneakily made some early appearances throughout the series beforehand.
** This is where Ezra received his kyber crystal in "Path of the Jedi", though he never wondered about what was going on presumably because [[AudienceSurrogate he thought it was just for aesthetic]].
** This is also where Yoda and Ezra have their conversation in "Shroud of Darkness".
** As seen in "Kindred", the lothwolves use the World Between Worlds to travel halfway across Lothal in a short span of time.
** [[AllThereInTheManual The Topps cards]] in regards to Ahsoka's fate revealed that she entered this realm after the end of "Twilight of the Apprentice". This wasn't explained until "A World Between Worlds".
* EldritchLocation: It looks like a giant star map that you could walk into. However its been stated that it appears differently depending on who enters it.
* NarniaTime: Zigzagged. When Ezra discovers it for the first time, at best, he spent an hour or so inside and about the same amount of time passed in his timeline. When he pulls Ahsoka inside, [[YearOutsideHourInside she also spent about an hour inside, but it is implied a couple of hours passed in her timeline]]. Also worth noting that the World Between Worlds was inspired by a different aspect from ''The Chronicles of Narnia'', that being the Wood Between the Worlds.
* NoManShouldHaveThisPower: Ezra and Ahsoka decide that its space-time manipulation is too dangerous to use, especially if it gets into the wrong hands, leading to Ezra destroying one of the Lothal portals before the Empire can find a way to access it.
* NoNameGiven: It is never given a proper name, but the closest we have is Ahsoka calling it "a world between worlds".
* OnlyTheChosenMayWield: Implied. Ezra can access it, but Stormtroopers can't. However, anyone inside the World Between Worlds can pull in others, like how Ezra pulled in Ahsoka. It is implied that Palpatine has to use Sith alchemy to force a portal open, and he can only stick his hand in, which is why he attempts to capture either Ezra or Ahsoka so that he can force them to help him enter the realm. The Force seems to only choose people that it trusts to use the realm wisely. On the other hand, the Sith Lord Momin may have used this realm to restore himself to life using Sith magic which may have not been intended by the Force (but then given he died at Vader's hands not long after, it may well have been the Force's intent all along). Also Vader may have entered this realm also using Sith magic to revive Padmé (which failed), but this too may have been the Force's intent.
* PlaceBeyondTime: And [[EldritchLocation space]] for that matter.
* PortalCrossroadWorld: This realm contains many portals to various times and locations.
* ShoutOut: Creator/DaveFiloni has stated that the Wood Between the Worlds from ''Literature/TheChroniclesOfNarnia'' was an inspiration for the World Between Worlds.
* YouAlreadyChangedThePast: Based on what happens with Ahsoka, who was taken from Malachor by Ezra and returned there unharmed -- and was previously depicted as having survived the encounter, rather than explicitly dying -- the World Between Worlds operates on [[StableTimeLoop causality loops]]. It's also explicitly mentioned that Ezra trying to save Kanan would retroactively cause Ezra to die, [[GrandfatherParadox which would therefore mean that he wouldn't be able to use the World Between Worlds to save Kanan, which would mean that Kanan couldn't be extracted into the World Between Worlds]].

!!The Cave of Evil
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cave_of_evil.png]]
->'''Appearances:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' | ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' | ''Literature/FromACertainPointOfViewTheEmpireStrikesBack''

A cave at the foot of a large gnarltree on Dagobah that acts as a vergence for the Dark Side of the Force. Those who dare to go inside will encounter their greatest fears.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: The only foreshadowing in ''The Empire Strikes Back'' -- prior to [[GeorgeLucasAlteredVersion later revisions]] -- that hints that Darth Vader is Luke Skywalker's father is in the cave itself, showing Luke a vision of himself underneath the helmet.
* GeniusLoci: To a limited extent, since the Force is unusually strong in the area and it knows the psychological weaknesses of whoever enters.
* PsychologicalTormentZone: The cave creates vivid manifestations of explorer's fears and anxieties. Yoda entered into the cave and saw visions of the destruction of the Jedi Order and Darth Sidious. When Luke went inside, it mainfested an image of Darth Vader with Luke's face beneath the helmet. Kylo Ren also ventured inside and encountered visions of Luke, Han and Leia.
* SchrodingersCanon:
** In the ''Legends'' continuity, the cave was the final resting place of a Dark Jedi who was killed by a member of Yoda's species named Minch. The Dark Jedi's spirit forever tainted the cave into the domain of evil that it is.
** Yoda discovered the cave's darkness when he battled a vision of Darth Sidious inside.

Enigmatic creatures from an even more enigmatic world that feed on the Force and those who are strongly-attuned to it, capable of overwhelming their senses and severing their connection to the Force. During the High Republic era, a few powerful groups with connections to the Ro family weaponized them against the Jedi to devastating effect.\\
\\
For the Great Leveler, see its entry on [[Characters/StarWarsTheNihil the Nihil]] page.

* AnimalisticAbomination: These supposedly non-sapient creatures are quadrupedal with desiccated and elongated limbs, have claws, sharp teeth, and facial tentacles, and are about the size of a large canine, a combination, which while already terrifying on its own, isn't too out there for an animal in the ''Star Wars'' universe, but there is something unsettling and eldritch about them that's apparent even to non-Force users. Past these surface traits, however, they are notable for the fact that one of them was dangerous enough to warrant being locked away under high security by the Ro family after using it as a weapon against the Jedi, can cause nightmarish hallucinations in Force users just by being around them, heightening the fears of even [[NervesOfSteel the most unflappable Jedi]], and cut Jedi off from the Force while calcifying them to death. Some of the unofficial names given to these creatures highlight just how terrifying and otherworldly they are.
* AntiMagic: They somehow have the ability to sever a Jedi's connection to the Force, which causes them a rapid mental breakdown.
* ArtifactOfDoom: The Nameless can be commanded with three control rods known as the Rods of Seasons, Ages and Daybreak, which are so powerful they can override their [[HorrorHunger insatiable hunger]]. Without them, they are little more than hungry animals that will feed on the living Force in ''any'' living being other than themselves. The ''Quest of the Jedi'' one-shot comic reveals that the crystals inside of the rods are actually shards of the Echo Stone, a [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity potentially-addictive]] Force amplifier that - a little over a century before the Great Hyperspace Rush - nearly brought the planet Angcord to ruin before being shattered by Jedi Master Barnabas Vim and Padawan Vix Fonnick. How the Echo Stone is related to the Nameless has yet to be revealed.
* AttackAnimal: With the Nameless control rods, both the Path of the Open Hand and the Nihil have used Nameless this way against Jedi.
* BioweaponBeast: By Phase III, Baron Boolan and the Ministry of Advancement have cybernetically modified a number of Nameless in the Nihil's possession to make them even more terrifying and deadly, with two of the early successes serving as bodyguards for Boolan's lab.
* BodyHorror: The Nameless in the Nihil's captivity have been starved of the Force for over a year, causing them to look emaciated like the Great Leveler. The ones that have been incubated, born in captivity and survived (such as Niv Drendow Apruk's experiment/pet, Grendrek) also suffer from severe birth defects, such as having rotting flesh. As Niv Drendow discovered, Nameless eggs usually have difficulty hatching in a healthy state away from Planet X (which would explain why the Leveler looks the way it does compared to the pictured Nameless) and one way he noticed to increase their survival rate is through use of mycopram - a fungus-derived antiaging cream only found in Republic space - but even then, Grendrek was still rotting.
* BrownNoteBeing: They are capable of causing psychological anguish and possibly death to Jedi just by being around them, making everyone around the Jedi appear as nightmarish abominations to them. However, it seems to exclusively affect Force users, or at least those who aren't already losing their connection to the Force like Sskeer. It's also implied that tapping into the Dark Side of the Force is the only way to overcome this effect, as a few Jedi in Phase II (namely Vildar Mac and Creighton Sun) have shown by briefly giving into anger, and Azlin Rell [[InsanityImmunity outright embraced the Dark Side as a way to fight them]].
* CompositeCharacter: They seem to borrow elements from a few creatures that posed a threat to Jedi and other Force users in some way in ''Legends''. Their ability to [[AntiMagic cut Jedi off from the Force]] is similar to the [[Literature/TheThrawnTrilogy Ysalamiri's]] passive Force negation. Their applications as [[MageHuntingMonster predators of Jedi]] is similar to the Vornskr, [[Literature/NewJediOrder Voxyn]] and [[VideoGame/KnightsOfTheOldRepublic Terentatek]]. And their ability to cause psychosis in Force users while feeding on the Force within them is similar to [[Literature/FateOfTheJedi Abeloth's]].
* CruelAndUnusualDeath: To put it succinctly, death by the Nameless is a terrible way to go, especially if you are a Force user. First, they attack Jedi through the Force with their mere presence alone, impairing their ability to think at best or causing nightmarish hallucinations that can put [[NervesOfSteel even them]] in a heightened state of fear at worst. While going through hallucinations, the Nameless approach their prey and drain the living Force from them, leaving behind a calcified husk with a look of terror on their face. In the worst case scenarios, some Force users calcify much slower after a close encounter, [[AndIMustScream struggling to move and speak while being consciously aware of what's happening to them]] (and sometimes watching themselves break apart) while also being cut from a sixth-sense that they've known their whole lives. Jedi also don't sense the Nameless' victims becoming one with the Force, which has other [[DeaderThanDead horrifying]] [[FateWorseThanDeath implications]].
* {{Cthulhumanoid}}: They are quadrupedal, but with an ape-like build and have face tentacles.
* TheDreaded: Given what they can do to Force users just by being around them, they are one of the only things that scare the Jedi. After the fall of Starlight Beacon (and the role Nameless played in it), the Jedi that are accounted for [[KnowWhenToFoldEm pull out of the Outer Rim and regroup]] because of how dangerous they are and how little they know about them. When Velko Jahen gets a report of just ''one'' Nameless being on Ballum when Keeve Trennis's team are trying to prevent a Nihil-Hutt alliance, she realizes the mission is already compromised and orders the Jedi [[RunOrDie to disengage immediately]].
* EarlyBirdCameo: While they don't show up in person, their existence was alluded to prior to the ''High Republic'' multimedia project as part of a prophecy pertaining to the Chosen One in ''[[Literature/StarWarsMasterAndApprentice Master and Apprentice]]'', as well as tales about them in ''[[AudioPlay/StarWarsDookuJediLost Dooku: Jedi Lost]]'' and the "Vader's Castle" comics of ''ComicBook/StarWarsAdventures''. The authors for those stories are also part of Project Luminous.
* EmotionEater: They heighten fear in Force users so it can feed on them.
* AFormYouAreComfortableWith: Inverted for Force users. While the true form of the Nameless isn't exactly pleasing to the human eye, they passively cause hallucinations in Force users that make them (and everyone around them) look ''even more horrifying'' on a personal level. It took Emerick getting assistance from Sian (who isn't Force sensitive and thus immune to the hallucinations) to get any idea of what they actually look like, and collect a severed claw to study. The whole Jedi Order gets a good look of what the Nameless actually look like outside the hallucinations in ''The Eye of Darkness'' via [[spoiler:Jedi Grand Master Pra-Tre Veter's [[MakeAnExampleOfThem publicly broadcast execution]]]].
-->'''Sian Holt:''' It's long, sort of desiccated. With sharp claws. Twitching very slightly. Why - What do you see?\\
'''Emerick Caphtor:''' Well, not that. ''(The Nameless's claws appear to Emerick as [[CreepyLongFingers elongated, blood-soaked fingers]])''
* HeavenlyBlue: Many of the Nameless are blue and some like the Great Leveler have an ethereal glow to them, and the Path of the Open Hand treats them like they are a gift from the Force to help them in their quest to liberate the Force (i.e. by punishing those they claim to be abusing the Force).
* HeroKiller: The Nameless as a species are behind the deaths of several major Jedi characters throughout ''The High Republic''. In Phase I, these casualties include Loden Greatstorm, Orla Jareni and Nib Assek, and while they weren't what ultimately killed him, they indirectly had a role in Stellan Gios's death through their deployment on Starlight Beacon. In Phase II, the Great Leveler's first victims include Zallah Macri and Kevmo Zink, the latter being one of the deuteragonists of ''Path of Deceit'', and later killing [[spoiler:Char-Ryl-Roy during the Battle of Dalna]]. Phase III even begins with Marchion using the Leveler to publicly execute [[spoiler:Jedi Grandmaster [[BigGood Pra-Tre Veter]]]]. Those they didn't kill have either been severely traumatized, forced into a state of hibernation to stall the petrification, or driven insane.
* HorrorHunger: The Jedi that have been around them can sense a constant hunger from the Nameless. ''Eye of the Storm'' 2 suggests this hunger was born as a result of [[EldritchLocation their homeworld]] being so in touch with the Force, and being pulled out of their natural ecosystem causes them to starve and try to seek out nourishment from other Force-rich sources. The control rods seem to be the only thing that can keep this hunger in check.
* IHaveManyNames: Aside from "[[NothingIsScarier the Nameless]]", other names this species goes by include "Shrii-Ka-Rai" (which translates to "Eater of the Force").
* ImmuneToBullets: While they are an even bigger threat to those who are Force-sensitive, that doesn't mean they are a pushover to those who aren't. ''The Nameless Terror'' shows they are unaffected by blasters, the go-to weapon of many non-Force users.
* ItCanThink: Despite their insatiable hunger outweighing their sense of self-preservation, Nameless can be surprisingly adaptable and prioritize their choice of Force-sensitive prey, even when they aren't a day old. In ''The Nameless Terror'', when two Jedi (their usual prey of choice) try to distract one while the rest of their allies try to escape from a downed ship, the Nameless charges for the breach in the ship instead, also having learned from when Pako electrified the hull.
* LogicalWeakness: To Jedi and other Force-sensitive beings, the Nameless are one of the most horrifying and dangerous entities they have come across. To those not as highly-attuned, they are just a really creepy but dangerous animal at worst, and feel little (if any) of the psychological damage that being Force-sensitive would cause in their presence alone. Among the Jedi who have survived close encounters with the Nameless, they have had [[MugglesDoItBetter a non-Force sensitive being]] (or in Sskeer's case, a Jedi who was already losing his connection to the Force [[DisabilityImmunity from fighting off a brain disease]]) around to bail them out or fend off the Nameless (one Jedi who did survive and wounded one without a non-Force user around - Qort - [[BrokeYourArmPunchingOutCthulhu almost got himself killed]]). However, that doesn't mean they are pushovers to non-Force users, as they are ''very'' resistant to blaster fire, are much smarter than they seem, and can kill most beings with a single swipe. Marda Ro easily kills one using Kevmo's lightsaber since she isn't Force-sensitive like the weapon's original owner.
* MageHuntingMonster: They can sense Force users and are used by the Nihil to hunt and destroy Jedi. The Path of the Open Hand was less discriminatory, and unleashed the Leveler in Jedha City to kill any Force-sensitives it encountered, and even fed members of their own cult who showed signs of Force sensitivity to it. Appropriately, one of the names given to the species means "Eater of the Force".
* MamaBear: [[spoiler:Adult Nameless, such as "the protector", are ''very'' protective of their eggs. When an expedition team lead by Sunshine Dobbs comes to Planet X to gather some Nameless eggs for the Path, the protector chases after them, even holding on to the escaping ''Silverstreak'' while in flight.]]
* MindRape: One of their most notable abilities is to psychically overwhelm Force users, enough to even shatter a Jedi's faith in the Force or drive them irreparably insane.
* MiracleGroMonster: Upon hatching from their jewel-like eggs, Nameless can go from being about the size of a kitten to the size of a mountain lion in a matter of minutes after feeding on one Force user. ''Path of Vengeance'' reveals that even then, they aren't fully matured. [[spoiler:True adult Nameless are even more monstrous.]]
* MixAndMatchCritter: They have the physique of a large cat, but have an ape-like build and squid eyes and face-tentacles. And despite their mammalian traits, they apparently lay eggs.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: The species' real name is unknown, but the name "Leveler" is enough to tell one these things are bad news. The other names this species has been called, "[[MageHuntingMonster Eater of the Force]]" and "[[NothingIsScarier Nameless]]", are just as much of red flags.
* NightmareFuelStationAttendant: These creatures were conceptualized to answer the question of "What scares the Jedi?"
* NonMaliciousMonster: Despite their terrifying nature and the threat they pose to Jedi, ''Eye of the Storm'' 2,Yoda's testimony at the end of ''Cataclysm'', and Marda's thoughts in "A Closed Fist Has No Claws" suggests they are merely animals that are constantly starving as a result of being displaced from Planet X, where their food source is much more concentrated. Marchion Ro, the Nihil and the Path of the Open Hand decided to take advantage of that, with the former deliberately starving them over the course of a year to make them even more feral. There's also the fact that the Nameless weaponized by both factions [[MiracleGroMonster are still infants]] by the species' standards.
* ScaryTeeth: Their teeth are normally obscured by their mouth tendrils, but when they do show them, they are absolutely monstrous.
* ShroudedInMyth: Prior to the Nameless being weaponized by the Nihil, the only well-known reference to the creatures' existence was a nursery rhyme that began with the line "shrii ka rai ka rai" (which could also be found carved in the walls of the Kharvashark Ruins on Vrant Tarnum). They are also mentioned in a prophecy pertaining to the Chosen One, particularly how the sacrifices of many Jedi will repay an unspecified sin committed against the Nameless. [[spoiler:Part of this is because Jedi Masters Creighton Sun and Yoda decided to keep details regarding the Battle of Dalna -- where the Nameless were weaponized in numbers by the [[AntiMagicalFaction Path of the Open Hand]] -- under wraps because of the panic that the idea of such a creature could generate, and because they didn't know how to deal with them at the time. Sure enough, this decision came back to bite the Jedi Order 150 years later.]]
* SuperPersistentPredator: Their hunger for the Force is so great that they will let ''nothing'' get between them and their meals. Not even being severely wounded or radiation will stop them.
* TakenForGranite: Those killed by the Nameless end up being left as brittle, petrified husks that will crumble to dust upon being touched, if not ReducedToDust right away from prolonged exposure alone. To keep this from becoming fatal, however, [[TwinTelepathy Terec and Ceret]] go into a hibernative trance to stall the petrification.
* VampiricDraining: They feed on the living Force itself, which can be found in just about any living creature in the galaxy. Force users are especially appetizing targets for them.
* XenomorphXerox: They are relentless, semi-quadrupedal monsters that have a unique killing method, prefer ambush tactics, and reproduce through eggs despite their mammalian traits. Appropriately, some of the stories prominently featuring them take place on a crashed starship and a damaged space station, and some villainous factions (namely the Path of the Open Hand and the Nihil) decide to weaponize them against the Jedi.

One of the tests Yoda had to face to be deemed worthy of being taught the secrets of immortality: he had to face his own hubris.

* AtLeastIAdmitIt: He mocks Yoda for denying his evil existence, and considers himself the more honest version because he does accept the fact he is a part of Yoda. This ends up backfiring when Yoda finally accepts his dark side... and then regains control over Dark Yoda.
* CurbStompBattle: The more Yoda denies that Dark Yoda is a part of himself, the harder Dark Yoda kicks his little green butt.
* DarkIsEvil: He's a demonic, shadowy monstrosity that ressembles Yoda covered in black smoke.
* EnemyWithout: Is the manifestation of Yoda's hubris, which puts even him at risk of succumbing to the dark side.

* HumanoidAbomination: He's a twisted Dark Side construct created from Yoda's own pride that resembles a deranged bastardization of everybody's favorite elderly, green little Jedi Master.
* LaughingMad: Takes Yoda's giggling and makes it sound ''very'' menacing.
* LivingShadow: Has jet black skin and is wreathed in black smoke.
* MadeOfEvil: It's not simply just an evil Yoda. It's a dark entity made of smoke and decay that happens to look like Yoda.
* OhCrap: When Yoda finally acknowledges Dark Yoda as being a part of himself, one that he suppresses through rigorous training and meditation, Dark Yoda tries to flee.
* ShoutOut: He looks like [[Film/TheLordOfTheRings Gollum]], which fits with being Yoda's evil personality, and also bears a strong resemblance to a Gremlin.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: When the real Yoda refuses to acknowledge the dark one as a part of himself, Dark Yoda laughingly taunts the real Yoda about how he "spends his days in the decadence of war".

[[folder:The Bendu]]
!!The Bendu
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bendu.png]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/TomBaker
->'''Appearances:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''

-->''"Jedi and Sith serve the Ashla and Bogan, the light and the dark... I'm the one in the middle. The Bendu."'''

A very strange being on Atollon who is between the light and dark sides of the Force.

* ActorAllusion: Creator/TomBaker as an impossibly ancient, impossibly intelligent, incredibly powerful space alien with a detached understanding of the workings of the universe, who is capable of kindness and warmth but is also very playful and at times selfish... The character even has a sort of 'long floppy hat over wide staring eyes with a long scarf draped over both shoulders' look resembling [[Series/DoctorWho the Doctor]] [[Characters/DoctorWhoFourthDoctor who Tom played]].
* AboveGoodAndEvil: He's utterly uninterested in the conflict between the Jedi and Sith, or between the Rebellion and the Empire. The only reason he helps at all is because Kanan accidentally woke him up and he'd like to stay asleep. He does have enough benevolence to mentor Kanan and Ezra for no other reason than they needed his help, however.
* BerserkButton: When Kanan calls him a coward for not wanting to fight against the Empire, the Bendu turns into a giant storm cloud with glowing eyes and lightning shooting everything and everyone, Rebel and Imperial alike, unlucky enough to get hit.
* BlindSeer: He's apparently blind, but able to see through the Force. [[spoiler:He later teaches Kanan the same skill.]]
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Zigzagged. He's more of a servant of nature than of either side of the Force, and casually states that Ezra and Kanan will either discover their true balance or will be eaten. But given he frowns when Kanan's fear nearly provokes the krykna and smiles when he and Ezra reconcile, it's clear which outcome he would prefer. That said, he's vulnerable to emotional outbursts, as seen under BerserkButton.
* CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer:
** In [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E09VisionsAndVoices "Visions and Voices"]], when Kanan and Ezra go to him for help on Ezra's hallucinations of Maul, he says that cutting off midway while fusing the holocrons is even ''worse'' of a thing to do than just [[GoMadFromTheRevelation seeing the whole thing]] (but [[TheUnreveal he never gets to explain it]]), then asks what Ezra wants to do (which is to stop seeing Maul), simply telling the duo to [[RightBehindMe not turn around]] before [[StealthHiBye disappearing]].
** [[spoiler:Double subverted when he met Ahsoka. He told her that much would change after her encounter with Vader, then said by change he meant death, but when she asked if she would die he admitted that he hadn't seen that and refused to elaborate on what he meant by "death".]]
* DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu: [[spoiler:Is on the receiving end of this in the final episode of season 3. Whilst just ''how'' effectively Thrawn punched him out is debatable [[note]]Mostly, did Thrawn ''actually'' inflict a mortal wound on the Bendu, but the Bendu followed in Kenobi's footsteps of how to FaceDeathWithDignity, or did he momentarily impede the Bendu at most?[[/note]], it's undebatable that Thrawn shot the Bendu out of the sky with his [=AT-ATs=].]]
* DisneyDeath: Implied. [[spoiler:Whilst he (offscreen) dissolves away before Thrawn's shot hits him in the season 3 finale, it's left ambiguous as to whether this is a case of conventional teleportation, FightingAShadow, or the Bendu dissolving into the Force in voluntary death, as Obi-Wan Kenobi did in ''Film/ANewHope''.]]
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: He introduces himself as "''the'' Bendu" as though it were a title, but people call him "Bendu" like it's his name.
* EvilIsNotAToy: Defied. He takes the Sith holocron and messes around with it, calling Kanan out on how a simple object cannot make a person be evil. Kanan leaves the holocron in his care for this reason.
* FightingAShadow: Possibly. [[spoiler:While he disappears right before Thrawn shoots him at point-blank range, [[AmbiguousSituation it's unclear]] whether he actually became one with the Force like when Vader slew Obi-Wan, or whether his form on the ground was merely a Force projection like [[Film/TheLastJedi Luke Skywalker on Crait.]] The fact that we hear his mocking laughter echo after he vanishes implies the latter.]]
* FourFingeredHands: One aspect of his design.
* GoMadFromTheRevelation: He refers to this when he warns Kanan and Ezra that once a secret is known, it cannot become unknown, mostly in reference to what happens if you [[ForbiddenTechnique fuse two Jedi and Sith holocrons together]].
* {{Hypocrite}}: He claims to be AboveGoodAndEvil, and either LawfulNeutral or TrueNeutral, but is clearly susceptible to emotional impulses. Notably, he claims that he is serving the will of the Force by [[spoiler:driving everyone off Atollon, but it seems to be mostly motivated by Kanan calling him a coward]].
* IShallTauntYou: He mocks Thrawn for thinking he could be so easily defeated and foretells Thrawn's own defeat, unnerving him. When Thrawn tries to kill him, he [[spoiler: vanishes and then laughs at him, seemingly just to unnerve him more.]]
* {{Kaiju}}: While intellectual and not immediately malevolent, he's giant, powerful and a force of nature that is not truly on anyone's side.
* KingOfAllCosmos: A large, wise, yet eccentric being who represents the center of the Force -- although it's not clear if he is the embodiment of the Force, like The Family were in ''Clone Wars'', or if he's instead just a very old and very powerful being who is neither on the light nor dark sides.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Has a moose-like face and horns, a vaguely pangolin or turtle-like body, and a gorilla-like posture.
* MysteriousPast: There are several hints that he used to be far more involved in galactic affairs, such as him remembering the devastation a holocron fusion can unleash, and detailing what exactly can make a person evil or good suggests he wasn't always neutral. Where he came from, how and why he became a neutral Force-user, and what made him decide to settle on Atollon and stay away from the galaxy is deliberately ambiguous.
* MythologyGag: His name is a reference to the name of the Jedi in the original ''Star Wars'' scripts, the Jedi-Bendu. Likewise, his opinion that you cannot truly unlearn something is reminiscent of how Yoda wanted Luke to unlearn what he had learned in order to grasp the Force. His huge, hulking size may also be a nod to the fact that early ideas for ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' would have had Yoda as a large alien instead of the cute little critter he ended up as. [[spoiler:His final scene in the season 3 finale also mirrors the confrontation between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Vader in ''Film/ANewHope'', with the Bendu being defiant despite his wounds, mocking the impotency of his "vanquisher", and then vanishing into thin air seconds before being struck by what should have been a killing blow.]]
* NeutralNoLonger: {{Subverted}}. [[spoiler:When Kanan goads him into action, the storm that the Bendu creates strikes down Rebels and Imperials alike. He makes it clear to Kanan that he is ''not'' interested in the Galactic Civil War, and orders both Kanan and Thrawn to leave the planet. [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu Thrawn objects]].]]
* NoNameGiven: Introduces himself as simply "the Bendu", which is not so much a name as a title for those who are neither Sith or Jedi.
* PetTheDog: He is completely neutral to the conflict and only gets involved so he can go back to sleep, but he still helps Kanan and Ezra with their problems and smiles when they reconcile.
* ProphecyTwist: He tells Thrawn [[spoiler: after being shot down]] that he foresees Thrawn's defeat, "like many arms holding you in a cold embrace." As it turns out, this refers to [[spoiler: the tentacles of the [[SpaceWhale Purrgil]] wrapping around Thrawn as they drag his wrecked flagship away into hypersapce.]]
* SchmuckBait: When Ezra asks him how he can avoid seeing Darth Maul again, the Bendu tells him to not turn around. You can guess what Ezra does next.
* ShockAndAwe: The Bendu can generate a ''thunderstorm, ride it, and shoot down lightning bolts powerful enough to OneHitKill AT-AT walkers''.
* ShoutOut:
** His design screams [[Creator/HayaoMiyazaki Miyazaki]] and also the [[Franchise/AvatarTheLastAirbender Lion Turtles]], especially given its bestial appearance and beard (as well as the character being an ancient, wise and giant being). Another cited influence is the work of Creator/BrianFroud, specifically [[Film/TheDarkCrystal his]] [[Film/{{Labyrinth}} projects]] with Creator/JimHenson, with Pablo Hidalgo describing him as something the Creator/JimHensonsCreatureShop would have built in the 80s.
** As for personality, he's got traces of [[Characters/TheLordOfTheRingsOtherCharacters Tom Bombadil]] as a powerful, ancient being with a connection to nature who's above the conflict. He casually handles the Sith Holocron in much the same way that Tom casually handled [[ArtifactOfDoom the One Ring]], even reprimanding Kanan when he calls the Sith holocron dangerous.
** His name might also be a reference to the Dai Bendu of the ''Legends'' continuity, precursors to the Je'Daii Order, who in turn were the predecessors of the Jedi. Bendu was also the name the Je'Daii used to refer to balance in the Force, which fits the character as he identified himself as neither Jedi or Sith, preferring to stay out of such conflicts and return to his slumber. His decision to help Kanan and Ezra could be argued as merely being the Will of the Force, something held in high regard by the Je'Daii Order.
* SinkOrSwimMentor: To an extent. He breaks the sensor beacon and guides Kanan into a hoard of krykna to teach him how to manage without his sight, and later sends Kanan and Ezra down into a krykna nest where they would either reform their bond or be eaten. In both cases, the danger was much less than it appeared at first, but death was still an option if they didn't learn.
* StealthHiBye: It [[StealthPun appears]] that he may not be a physical entity. First hinted in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E01TheHolocronsOfFate "The Holocrons of Fate"]], where he takes a while to introduce himself to Ezra (who was panicking and disregarding Kanan's instructions to calm down when the krykna show up first), but seems to disappear when Maul shows up in [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E09VisionsAndVoices "Visions and Voices"]]. [[Recap/StarWarsRebelsS3E20ZeroHourPartII "Zero Hour"]] implies that he is operating under FightingAShadow -- he ''does'' have a physical form, [[spoiler:and one that can be hurt by mundane Imperial weapons,]] but he isn't going to die if it is destroyed.
* TimeAbyss: Refers to the light and the dark as [[MythologyGag "Ashla" and "Bogan"]], [[CanonImmigrant terms also previously used from a comic book series]] in ''Legends'', ''ComicBook/DawnOfTheJedi'', and the term was used by the predecessor of the Jedi Order, the Je'daii. The time period for the Je'daii Order is 36,500 years ago to 25,800 years ago. How much of this is canon is unclear, but what is clear is that he is older than both the Jedi and the Sith, and possibly older than the very idea of choosing between light and dark. And for however long he's been around, he's been around for as long as the Lasat have (who also share a version of his beliefs), perhaps even longer.
* WildCard: Describes himself as "the one in the middle", for the Force, and [[spoiler: in his giant cloud form, he blasts down Imperial and Rebellion shuttles alike.]]

[[folder:Morai]]
!!Morai
[[quoteright:299:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/sw_morai.png]]
!!!'''Species:''' Convor

->'''Appearances:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]'' | ''Series/TheMandalorian'' | ''Series/{{Ahsoka}}''

A mysterious convor seen accompanying Ahsoka throughout her adult life, later revealed to have a unspecified relation to the Force and the Daughter.
----
* AmbiguousSituation: The extent of her relation to the Daughter is currently unknown, but characters in-universe conclude that either she is the Daughter in another form or she is the Daughter's {{Familiar}}.
* MeaningfulName: "Morai" is another name for [[Myth/ClassicalMythology the Fates]].
* MysteriousWatcher: Serves this role for her brief cameo in ''The Clone Wars'' as well as most of ''Rebels'', where she is shown watching Vader/Ahsoka from a distance. Notably, Morai is somehow present on the unnamed moon where Vader finds Ahsoka's lightsaber in the last scene of the finale of Clone Wars, "Victory and Death." The only time she takes an active role in the story is allowing Ezra to access the Malachor portal in the World Between Worlds.
* NoodleIncident: Ahsoka says that [[IOweYouMyLife she owes Morai her life]] for a currently unspecified incident. Though if Morai and the Daughter are one & the same and Ahsoka is aware of it, it's possible Ahsoka is referring to how the Daughter resurrected her after the Son killed her on Mortis.

[[folder:Dume '''(SPOILERS FOR ''Rebels'' Season 4)''']]
!!Dume
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/star_wars_dume.jpeg]]

!!!'''Species:''' Lothwolf

->'''Voiced by:''' [[AsHimself The Force]][[note]]sounds like Creator/FreddiePrinzeJr, though this is unconfirmed[[/note]]
->'''Appearances:''' ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Rebels]]''

-->''"I... am... Dume."''

A giant lothwolf. After the destruction of the TIE Defender factory on Lothal, he urges Ezra to move on and warns him that the Lothal Jedi Temple is in danger.

* AmbiguousSituation:
** Either he ''is'' Kanan in another form, or he's just related to Kanan somehow. According WordOfGod, this won't be revealed anytime soon, but Dume can't exist at the same time with Kanan. When discussed in-universe, the characters conclude that he must be a manifestation of Kanan's will through the Cosmic Force.
** At the end of "A World Between Worlds", Ezra and Dume part ways and he disappears into the fog of the fallen Jedi Temple. Whether he still exists in some form and simply left Ezra, or if he moved on completely once his work was done, is unclear.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: He comes off as rather callous about Ezra's grief, since what's going on at the Jedi temple is far more important. Then again, being given a mission and told to stop isolating himself was exactly what Ezra needed to recover, so maybe it was a case of CruelToBeKind. WordOfGod describes him as a selfish character who ordered [[spoiler:Ahsoka's rescue]] not because it was the will of the Force but out of a need to undo his own mistake.
* CanisMajor: He makes the other loth-wolves, already pretty huge themselves, look like puppies and he's big enough to swallow an adult human.
* IconicItem: His forehead has the same symbol from Kanan’s pauldron.
* MysteriousPast: Almost nothing is known about him other than he conveniently debuts after Kanan dies.
* TheNoseKnows: He can smell Ezra's fear.
* {{Reincarnation}}: WordOfGod says he's [[http://www.syfy.com/syfywire/dave-filoni-on-kanans-future-and-how-george-lucas-and-tolkien-impact-star-wars-rebels closest to this]] for Kanan, being a part of Kanan but not the whole, who would not react to Ezra when they met.

[[folder:Midi-chlorian]]
!!Midi-chlorians
[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/midichlorian.png]]
->'''Appearances:''' ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' | ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsTheCloneWars The Clone Wars]]'' | ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'' [[note]]Mentioned only in all appearances[[/note]]

-->''"Without the midi-chlorians, life could not exist, and we would have no knowledge of the Force."''

Microscopic creatures that live inside living cells, the midi-chlorians provide the connection between the Force and those who wield it.

* DoingInTheWizard: Played with. Midi-chlorians provide a bit of scientific explanation to why some people are more receptive to the Force than others, and why it can be passed down in a family, but they do not explain what the Force is. In fact, when Qui-Gon explains them to Anakin, he specifically states that the midi-chlorians only communicate the will of the Force, making it clear that the Force is a higher consciousness, and not the midi-chlorians themselves, nor is it generated by them. It is also not explained if they cause force sensitivity or if they gather in individuals that are force sensitive. Since Anakin was born from force powers (de facto immaculate conception), he definitely didn't inherit them from his mother.
* {{Expy}}: Of the RealLife organelles [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitochondrion mitochondria]]. It's also come full circle, as a genus of mitochondria got named after them.
* PowerLevels: The higher the midi-chlorian count in one's cells, the stronger their natural connection to the Force is. In Ahsoka it’s shown that it’s possible, through intense training, to use the Force without such a strong natural connection.
* SuperPowerfulGenetics: Played with. Every living cell contains midi-chlorians, but only those who have high counts usually learn to use the Force, as doing so without a high midi-chlorian count requires intense training and does not happen naturally.
* TheSymbiote: They live inside living cells, and life is impossible without them. In sufficient number they also make it possible for one to naturally connect to the Force.

-->''"I'm no Jedi, boy. And in my book, anyone who wants to be…is a fool."''

Shortly after the rise of the Empire, Verla was discovered by Ferren Barr, a surviving padawan who was gathering acolytes to instigate rebellion against the Empire. Around the time of the Battle of Hoth, Vera lived in hiding on Serelia.

* TheApprentice: Of the acolytes Ferren gathered, Verla was the only Force-sensitive amongst them and began to receive Jedi training from him.
* SoleSurvivor: Barr and the rest of the acolytes are all killed during the rebellion on Mon Cala, but Verla is sent away by Barr and ordered to survive and find another Jedi to continue her training.
* TookALevelInCynic: She tried to honor Barr's request to continue her Jedi training, but was unable to find another Jedi and spent years being hunted and hounded by Vader and the Inquisitors. After more than two decades of this, Verla is bitter and regrets ever even trying to to walk that path.

[[folder:Whills]]
!!Whills
->'''Appearances:''' ''Literature/FromACertainPointOfView'' | ''Literature/FromACertainPointOfViewTheEmpireStrikesBack''

A higher order of beings who are responsible for recording important events in the galaxy. They are said to have scribed the entire Skywalker Saga from R2-D2's recollections at some distant point in the future.
----
* AbortedArc: One of George Lucas's pitches for a potential sequel trilogy under his direction would have seen the Whills play a large role. They were to be portrayed as a crucial aspect of the Force itself, being microbiotic beings similar to the midi-chlorians. However, ever since Disney bought ''Star Wars'', they've been (indirectly) mentioned in canon entries such as ''Literature/GuardiansOfTheWhills'' and ''Film/RogueOne''.
* {{Expy}}: In their chapter in ''From a Certain Point of View'', the portrayal of their culture is suspiciously similar to that of [[Franchise/MarvelUniverse the]] [[TheWatcher Watchers]].
* TheGhost: The concept of the Whills originates as far back as George Lucas's very earliest scrap notes and script drafts for what was to become ''Star Wars'' but have yet to be seen in any official visual media.
* NotSoOmniscientCouncilOfBickering: The comedic, self-satirical chapter dedicated to them in ''From a Certain Point of View'' portrays them in a decidedly less inscrutable light than Lucas likely envisioned and has a pair of them bicker about what they should or shouldn't include in their recordings of Galactic history.
* PunnyName: They are the "w(h)ills" of the Force.
* TakeThatAudience: In the ''From a Certain Point of View'' series, they are a thinly-veiled reflection of the ''Star Wars'' fandom, constantly bickering about the canonicity of events from the franchise.

An enigmatic spidery creature perched on the head of a larger being that dwells in the caverns of Mustafar.
----
* TheDividual: Perhaps. It's unclear whether the Eye is the spidery creature on top of the larger one, or if it's both of them.
* TheDreaded: Apparently no one ever returns from its caverns and Vader's pursuers don't follow when he decides to make the trip.
* EmpathicShapeshifter: The giant creature the Eye is perched on shifts in appearance as it converses with Vader, taking the form of Anakin as a Jedi knight and as a young slave, as well as Palpatine.
* NoSell: Kylo attempts to use a mind-trick on it, but the Eye merely laughs and asserts that it immune to such things.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: It is greatly amused by Vader's demands of it and rips into him for his lack of conviction, his uncertainty as to his own purpose and desires, and his nature as a tool to be controlled by others.
* StealthHiBye: Pulls this off on Kylo at the end of their meeting, disappearing back beneath the lava without him noticing while examining the Wayfinder.
