The Chain Worlds Theorem was a theory positing the existence of the World Between Worlds,[3] a mystical plane located between time and space.[4] An illustration of the theorem was authored by an unknown individual and was part of a book that was a part of the Jedi Master Luke Skywalker's collection of sacred Jedi texts. The illustration of the theorem was accompanied by writings in an archaic language.[3]

The realm that the Chains Worlds Theorem theorized the existence of did in fact exist. The World Between Worlds was accessed by the Padawan Ezra Bridger[5] in 1 BBY,[6] during the Galactic Civil War. At the site of the ruins of the Lothal Jedi Temple on the[5] planet[7] Lothal, Bridger entered the realm via a portal, which he opened by using the Force to interact with the painting of the Mortis gods.[5]

History

Knowledge on the Chain Worlds Theorem was preserved in Luke Skywalker's collection of sacred texts.

Knowledge on the Chain Worlds Theorem was preserved in Luke Skywalker's collection of sacred texts.

When Skywalker exiled himself to the planet Ahch-To following the destruction of his temple and the students of his Jedi Order[3] in 28 ABY,[8] the book including information on the Chain Worlds Theorem was kept in his collection of the sacred texts located in the tree library on the planet's Temple Island. An identical illustration in a different book, the Rammahgon, depicted abstracted hyperspatial waypoints to the Sith[3] throneworld[9] of Exegol, with an amended insert added by Skywalker connecting it to Ahch-To.[3] In 34 ABY,[10] the Padawan Rey took the books aboard the starship Millennium Falcon.[3] A book describing objects relating to galactic history contained an entry on the sacred Jedi texts, including a captioned depiction of the Chain Worlds Theorem.[1]

Behind the scenes
