The Force Priestesses, also known as the Five Priestesses, were a group of mysterious Force-sensitives who held the secret to immortality.
History
During the Clone Wars, Jedi Grand Master Yoda encountered the Force Priestesses on a planet in the heart of the galaxy, where they put him through a series of trials. The Priestesses represented serenity, joy, anger, confusion, and sadness, respectively, and nothing was found behind their white masks.
The Priestesses existed in a state between the Living Force and the Cosmic Force, and they could manifest themselves before the living at will.
The trials they put Yoda through forced him to face the personification of his hubris, resist great temptation, and finally, travel to Korriban, the homeworld of the Sith, to pass the ultimate test, which was beyond the Priestesses' control.
When Yoda's trials were complete, the Priestesses deemed the Jedi Grand Master able to retain his identity after death.
Behind the scenes
The Five Priestesses first appeared in the Star Wars: The Clone Wars television series' sixth season.
