admonition ! This article moderate spoiler for Star Wars # 34The two main military unit - raw groups inStar Warshave always been the Jedi and the Sith , but just because they ’re the two most well eff does n’t entail they are the only ones out there . But , unfortunately , one of those other Force - based religions was all but wipe out , and fans only recently instruct what materialize to them .
The spiritual group in question is call the Fallanassi , and they are know for hero-worship the Light Side of the Force – but not the same way of life as the Jedi . To the Fallanassi , the Force is n’t something that can be wielded or harnessed , butthe Force was known to the Fallanassi as ‘ the White Current ’ . The Fallanassi consider that the cosmic electric current of the Force flows through everything and everyone , and only by allowing the White Current to guide one ’s spirit could they then discover peace and happiness . On the other side , the Fallanassi also acknowledged the Dark Side of the Force , which they refer to as ‘ the Dark Tide ’ . The Dark Tide was a constant threat to them just as it is to all force play - sensitive people in the wandflower , and the Fallanassi knew to stay away from that negative energy for fear of ‘ drowning ’ in its mystifying , dark-skinned profundity . While the Fallanassi were once a thriving religion , their time come to a violent conclusion by the hand of the Empire .
The Fallanassi Were Wiped Out by the Empire After Losing Their Connection to the Force
InStar Wars#34 by Charles Soule and Madibek Musabekov , Luke is searching for more Kyber Crystals afterLuke ’s icteric lightsaberwas destroyed on a old mission . His journeying run him to a major planet called Christophsis , which is one of the few planet where Kyber can be find fairly on a regular basis . Unfortunately , the Empire outlawed Kyber trading , making it nearly unsufferable for Jedi to build their sacred weapons . Lucky for Luke , he ran into someone unquiet to help him , a crisp - hired gun named Gretta . Gretta saved Luke from some hoi polloi who were pass to sell him to the Empire , pay that Kyber craft is illegal and Luke was require around for it like an amateur . Gretta then evidence Luke that she could help him find what he was looking for , but she also tell him a keen deal more than that .
When ask specifically why she was helping him , Gretta tells Luke that she and her kin were Fallanassi , and that four years before the events of this comic ( which is determine betweenEpisode VandEpisode VI ) , the Empire wiped out every last member of her faith , in effect eradicating her entire civilisation from the coltsfoot . So , when Luke destroy the first Death Star , he inadvertently revenge her people . This divine revelation that the Empire was on the QT creditworthy for the genocide of an entire Force - based religion justly under everyone ’s nose was a shocking one to say the least , but another cataclysm excise the Fallanassi people before they were dispatch . According to Gretta , the Fallanassi lost their connection to the Force many years ago , and only continued to worship the White Current through text and belief rather than real practice , and they used the Kyber Crystals to guide their ceremony ( which is how Gretta knew where to get hold them ) .
As bear witness in the seriesStar Wars : The High Republic , the Fallanassi were a thriving group of masses who hero-worship , studied , and practiced in the Light Side of the Force . Yet further down the timeline , they have not only been extinguish by the Empire , but they completely lost their connexion to the Force before that even happened . The downfall of the Fallanassi seemed as though it was a slow digression away from the White Current they so vehemently praise , with the Empire ’s violation being the terminal nail in their coffin . It is a tragic taradiddle , to be sure , and now , Star Warsfans know exactly how this major force out - sensitive mathematical group from the High Republic era fell into quenching .
