Star Wars: Exploring the Power of Force Nexuses Across the Galaxy

by

In the world of Star Wars, the Force connects everything that lives. But certain special places, objects, and people become incredibly strong with this energy, acting as powerful focal points known as Force nexuses or vergences.

In Star Wars, vergences are places where the Force is incredibly strong, acting as distortions, sources, or expressions of its power. Here’s a list of all the major locations where the Force is concentrated, according to official Star Wars stories (including the famous World Between Worlds from Ahsoka).

The Brendok Vergence (Acolyte)

In The Acolyte, it’s revealed that a unique and powerful Force phenomenon occurred on this planet, utilized by the Witches of Brendok. This allowed them to artificially create twins, Mae and Osha Aniseya, who were both exceptionally strong with the Force.

Okay, so the Jedi picked up on this strange energy disturbance – the Brendok vergence – and honestly, their reaction made things way worse. But looking back, it’s one of the few clues in the official Star Wars story that hints at the coming of Anakin Skywalker. It’s fascinating to see those early breadcrumbs pointing towards his destiny.

Coruscant Jedi Temple Nexus (Prequels)

The Jedi Temple on Coruscant was actually built over an old Sith shrine, a place strongly connected to the dark side. The Jedi tried to suppress this dark energy, but weren’t completely successful. This hidden history subtly affected the Jedi’s judgment during the prequel era, unknowingly helping Palpatine stay hidden, and created a unique point where the light and dark sides of the Force met.

Anakin Skywalker (The Phantom Menace)

In The Phantom Menace, Qui-Gon Jinn tells the Jedi Council that Anakin is a unique and powerful being – a direct connection to the Force, and the only character in the Star Wars films ever described that way.

Born through the Force without a father, Anakin Skywalker was a uniquely powerful being – a central figure in galactic prophecy. He was destined to bring balance as the Chosen One, and his life dramatically altered the course of the galaxy, becoming a point where fate, ancient predictions, and powerful energy all came together.

Illum (Clone Wars Micro-Series)

Before it became Starkiller Base, the planet Ilum was a place overflowing with the light side of the Force. It was famous for its kyber crystals, which were deeply connected to the Force, and Jedi younglings traveled there to choose crystals and create their first lightsabers.

Temple of Eedit (Clone Wars)

I caught a quick glimpse of the Temple of Eedit during Savage Oppress’ rampage, and it’s located on the planet Devaron. Honestly, not a lot is known about this temple – it seemed pretty understaffed by the time the Clone Wars rolled around. But here’s the interesting part: it was confirmed to be a vergence, meaning it had a strong connection to the Force – something most Jedi Temples and outposts shared.

Mortis (Clone Wars)

Mortis is a uniquely powerful and mythical realm, representing the cosmic balance of the Force. Within it, three key figures – the Son (dark side), the Daughter (light side), and the Father – embody and maintain this balance.

As a huge Star Wars fan, I always found the Mortis arc fascinating. It was cool to see Anakin potentially take over from the Father during the Clone Wars, but he ultimately didn’t want that power. And now, with the Ahsoka series hinting at the Mortis gods returning in season two, it’s clear Lucasfilm has a lot more story to tell about that incredibly powerful and mysterious place.

Wellspring of Life (Clone Wars)

The Wellspring is where the Force Priestesses live and where the Jedi first discovered how to live on as Force ghosts. Qui-Gon Jinn was the first to learn the special training needed to achieve this immortality.

During the Clone Wars, Yoda, following a vision from Jinn’s spirit, traveled to the Wellspring. This place was thought to be the very beginning of the Living Force, and possibly the origin of all the unique connections to the Force found throughout the Star Wars galaxy.

Moraband (Clone Wars)

Moraband, once called Korriban, is the original home of the Sith. It’s a world steeped in dark side energy, filled with ancient tombs and the remnants of countless dark rituals.

In season 6 of The Clone Wars, Yoda’s experience on the planet reveals it’s a strong focal point for the dark side. This dark side power creates illusions and challenging trials, such as the ghostly appearance of Darth Bane that Yoda had to confront.

Moraband is a remarkably strong location for the Sith, with its valleys and ancient tombs brimming with dark energy, making it a key world in the history of the Star Wars universe.

Mustafar (Revenge of the Sith)

As a film critic, I have to say, Mustafar is a location that feels evil. The planet’s brutally volcanic landscape isn’t just for show; it visually represents the corruption at the heart of the dark side. It’s a place where the Force itself seems warped by rage and pain, and it makes perfect sense that Darth Vader built his imposing castle right on top of a nexus of dark side energy – it’s clearly designed to amplify his power and make him even more terrifying.

Lothal Jedi Temple (Rebels)

The Jedi Temple on Lothal seems to change based on the Force and the people who are connected to it. It responds to their sensitivity and the will of the Force itself.

The temple’s innermost room contains a gateway to a realm connecting different worlds, making it a crucial point in the galaxy. This explains why Emperor Palpatine thoroughly searched the temple, hoping to unlock its power – though he ultimately failed.
