This is me explaining my opinion why before the Prequel era is more interesting than after the original trilogy. Everything I am about to talk about is consider non-canon by Disney. However, these stories have been and always will be better than the empire... I mean corporation that is Disney.
So here is my number 10 for why before the Prequel era is more interesting than after the Original Trilogy:
10. The Celestials, the Ones, and Abeloth
Probably the most powerful force users in the Star Wars Galaxy, the Celestials were basically the "gods and goddesses" of the Star Wars Galaxy. (They are basically the Star Wars equivalent to the the Halo Precursors). They are supposedly the creators of different species and the architects of multiple structures. They're Empire and entire race slowly began to fade out once the Rakatan Infinite Empire began conquering the galaxy. The three who survived were known as the Ones. They were the representations of Dark Side of the Force (The Son), the Light Side of the Force (The Daughter), and just the Force (The Father). They all had a galactic impact on the galaxy with their powers. The story goes that they lived on an unnamed tropical planet that contained a Font of Power and a Pool of Knowledge. (Star Wars might be stealing from human sources here 😉).
The Children were told by the Father to not drink from the font or bathe in the Pool. Naturally they did. The Son drank from the Font of Power, basically making him the physical form of the Dark Side. The Daughter bathed in the Pool of Knowledge, making her the physical form of the Light Side. The Children then claimed areas of the Tropical Planet and began fighting each other, while the Father tried to keep the balance between the two. (Hence the keep balance to the Force thing and the constant fighting between the Light and Dark Side of the Force).
Eventually a young woman came to the Tropical Planet, who took the title The Servant. She served the Father and helped mend the relationship between the Daughter and Son. She eventually was given the title of the Mother. But she was mortal. As she grew older, she couldn't stop the Son and Daughter from fighting. To stop the fighting she went to drink from the Font of Power and bathed in the Pool of Knowledge. However, this amount of power destroyed the Mother, turning her into the creature known as Abeloth, the Bringer of Chaos.
Abeloth made the Children bow to her, but the Father stopped her, taking his Children away from the Tropical Planet. The three Celestials joined forces with other powerful force sensitive beings to create multiple stations surrounding the Tropical Planet. Eventually these stations created what is known as the Maw, which imprisoned Abeloth. Then the Father took his Children to a hidden monolith-gated planted known as Mortis. There, he kept the balance between his Children, thus keeping a balance between the Force.
Now the Father, Daughter, and Son are canon. They showed up in the Mortis arc in the Star Wars the Clone Wars tv series. The gist of these episodes was affirming Anakin was the Chosen One, and that he was supposed to take the place of the Father to keep the balance between his children. Anakin of course doesn't stay on Mortis -- When he leaves the last of the Celestials (the Father, Son, and Daughter) are all dead, leaving the Force unbalanced. There is no mention of Aebolth in these episodes, so it is hard to say if she is canon or not. I also believe that there might be some call backs to the episode arc in the 4th season of Star Wars Rebels if Ahsoka Tano returns to the series (if she is alive that is). This is because Ahsoka died on Mortis because of the Son. Before she died, the Daughter transferred the last of her life force into Ahsoka to bring her back from the dead. So I wonder if Ahsoka will return as some kind of mix between Ahsoka and the Daughter. Hard to say.
My next post will be about my number 9 reason for why before the Prequel era is more interesting than after the Original Trilogy. - Emperor Valkorion
Until then, have an epic day!
