The World Between Worlds, also known as Vergence Scatter, is a mystical plane in the Star Wars universe that exists outside of time and space. It was introduced in the Star Wars: Rebels animated series, during the fourth season in episode "A World Between Worlds". In a mystical reality tied to the Living Force, it can connect all moments in time together. Discovered by the Padawan Ezra Bridger within a Jedi temple on Lothal, this timeless space features countless doorways and pathways leading to different moments in the history of the galaxy.
The World Between Worlds was presented as ethereal and serene, a stark contrast to the often conflict-heavy environments typical in the Star Wars universe. It was filled with countless paths and doorways, each representing different eras and events in time. The world was permeated by voices from the past, present, and future that constantly Echo around, some of them recognizable voices from the Star Wars canon. These elements combined made the realm a captivating nexus point of The Force.
Ezra Bridger gained access to the World Between Worlds through a mural of the Force-wielder known as the Loth-Wolf on the Jedi Temple of Lothal. Upon entering this dimension, he managed to save Ahsoka Tano from her presumed death at the hands of Darth Vader in "Twilight of the Apprentice". This act highlighted a significant implication of the World Between Worlds, as it could potentially alter the course of events that have already transpired.
The role of the World Between Worlds in Star Wars lore has been heavily discussed by fans and theorists. It raises questions about the nature of the Force, the concept of time, and the idea of Destiny within the Star Wars galaxy. Its very existence suggests the possibility of time travel, an element traditionally absent from Star Wars narratives and one that potentially brings new complexity to the franchise.
Ultimately, the World Between Worlds was sealed off by Ezra Bridger to protect it from the Sith Emperor, Palpatine. The Emperor wanted to manipulate the power it held over time and space for his own dark purposes. The realm remains a fascinating addition to the Star Wars universe, showing how vast and full of possibilities the Force truly is.
