The Mountain Clan Come From Star Wars Legends
The Nightsisters' light side rivals
A wild and wild satellite steeped in the dreary side of the Force , Dathomir was created by author Dave Wolverton back in 1994 when he write the novelThe Courtship of Princess Leia . This introduced theNightsisters of Dathomir , a coven of beldam whose force terrified even the Empire . But they were not the only inhabitants of Dathomir ; theStar Warsheroes forged an alliance with their rivals , the calorie-free side group roll in the hay as the Mountain Clan , or sometimes the Singing Mountain Clan .
The Courtship of Princess Leiais now debate non - canon , but it continue extremely influential and has even latterly been reprint . George Lucas eff the idea of the Nightsisters , describe them intoStar war : The Clone Warsand reinterpreting them for a young spiritualist . The Mountain Clan has been mentioned a few times in canyon before now , butTales of the Empiriemarks the first fourth dimension the grouping has been explore in point .
Who Are The Mountain Clan?
Nightsisters are bound to the dark side of the Force , but the Mountain Clan process the visible light . In fable , they are relatively few in number - 25 or 30 liken to the hundreds of Nightsisters - because the Dathomiri do not in truth understand the nature of the Force , and so are not leery enough of the dark side . Tales of the Empireseems to show the Mountain Clan in a stronger , more confident position , perhaps suggesting they are more numerous .
Like the Nightsisters , the Mountain Clan is a matriachal civilization who use magick and incantation to get at the Force . Where the Nightsisters tire out cherry and black , the Mountain Clan wear beautiful white robes , symbolically representing their focus on pureness . Although herculean in the Force , the Mountain Clan use it only to maintain , not to assail - perhaps stand for a more well - developed philosophical system of the Force than in Legends .
The Mother is willing to take in a Nightsister after the Purge , although she clearly resents Morgan ’s influence
Star Wars: Tales of the Empire is an animated follow-up to 2022’s Tales of the Jedi. The series focuses on Barriss Offee, a former Jedi, and Morgan Elsbeth as they navigate their separate paths through the Galactic Empire. The series will also see the return of other iconic Star Wars characters such as General Grievous, Ahsoka Tano, Grand Admiral Thrawn, and Darth Vader.
There are pernicious hints that the Mountain Clan and the Nightsisters have an incompatible relationship . Certainly the Mother of the Mountain Clan believes their home to be strong , and there ’s no cause for them to base themselves in such a uncongenial environment if they are n’t protecting themselves from enemies . Still , the Mother is uncoerced to take in a Nightsister after the Purge , although she clearly resents Morgan ’s influence .
The new Tales of the Empire animise series retcons a major Ahsoka villain into Star Wars Rebels , disclose origins and explaining key plot of ground gaps .
Star Wars Canon’s Nightsister Hisitory Has Been Rewritten
Ahsoka changed everything
In Legends , the Mountain Clan had ties to a rogue Jedi . In canon , the history of the Dathomiri is much more exciting;Ahsokasaw its submarine sandwich and villains trip thepathway to Peridea , a planet in another galaxy , the ancestral homeworld of the Dathomiri . According to Morgan Elsbeth , the ancient Dathomiri traveled through the intergalactic emptiness onStar warfare ' infinite hulk , the purrgil , and settled on many worlds . It had generally been assumed these were Nightsisters - but it ’s more probable they were existence alike to the Mountain Clan .
In truth , the ability to sympathise with and join to animals has always been more of a light-colored side Force power than a dark side one . Meanwhile , it ’s always seemed odd that the Dathomiri originate from Peridea , when the planet is name as a purrgil memorial park - the place purrgil go to die . The existence of light side Dathomiri raises the possibility the original travelers were of the tripping side , and something went wrong ; Peridea was demoralise , becoming a non-white side link , a place of dying . Intergalactic migration from Peridea was cut off as a solvent .
This correspond well with the claims of Dark Jedi Baylan Skoll inAhsoka . He believed Peridea was the position where everything locomote wrong millennium ago , long before record history in theStar Warsgalaxy - the place where the balance of the Force was lost . The mere macrocosm of the Mountain Clan seems to suggest that he was correct . If that ’s the type , then Baylan is look into whatever misrepresented lightsome side witch into Nightsisters .
Do The Mountain Clan Still Exist?
Could they turn up in live-action?
Theend ofAhsokasaw Grand Admiral Thrawn claim Dathomiri as his fresh fundament of operation in the chief beetleweed . Most viewers had assumed the satellite was only uninhabited after the Nightsister Purge , but now it ’s readable that is n’t the case ; the Mountain Clan still be . There could be other clan too , ones who serve the light side and thus did not capture General Grievous ' tending . If that is the case , the Mountain Clan could soon appear in live - military action , an unbelievable passage only made potential because ofStar Wars : fib of the Empire .
