Summary
- A new theory suggests that the dangerous Force predators known as the Nameless in Star Wars may have originated from outside the known galaxy.
- The Nameless are powerful predators who feed on the Force and can easily kill Jedi Knights. They played a role in the fall of the Jedi's Starlight Beacon during the High Republic Era.
- The origins of the Nameless are still mysterious, but it is rumored that they came from a world in Wild Space, a largely unexplored area beyond the galaxy's Outer Rim. However, their unique powers and connection to the Force could hint at even further origins in another galaxy (just like Ahsoka's Nightsisters).
A new Star Wars theory suggests that Ahsoka may have set up the live-action debut of the galaxy's most dangerous Force monsters. As seen in the new Star Wars show, Ahsoka ventures beyond the confines of the known galaxy to a brand-new one. As such, new insights are teasing that predators from the High Republic Era may have originated from outside the known Star Wars galaxy as well.
In Ahsoka, the titular Jedi hero played by Rosario Dawson is joined by her Mandalorian apprentice Sabine Wren (Natasha Liu Bordizzo) in their attempt to prevent the return of Grand Admiral Thrawn while also trying to save Jedi Knight Ezra Bridger. Both the former Imperial leader and missing Jedi were lost in the wake of the series finale of Star Wars Rebels, though a way to reach them both was discovered in Ahsoka with the reveal that they'd been sent to the extragalactic world known as Peridea. As such, new origin reveals for the High Republic Force predators known as the Nameless could connect to another galaxy as well.

Known in ancient times as Shrii Ka Rai or "Eaters of the Force", the Nameless were powerful Force-attuned predators who could easily kill even the most capable Jedi Knights. Controlled by the Nihil marauders during the High Republic Era, the Nameless brought about the fall of the Jedi's Starlight Beacon, the dark conclusion of the High Republic's first phase of novels and comics. Feeding on the Force itself, the Nameless can completely paralyze a Jedi with overwhelming terror combined with dark visions. As such, a Nameless will feed on a Jedi's Force energy until they become nothing more than a crumbling petrified husk.
Thanks to NYCC's Lucasfilm Publishing panel and a new preview page from The High Republic Character Encyclopedia, there have been new reveals regarding the Nameless' powers and origins prior to their dark roles during the High Republic era. Firstly, the character bio suggests that the Nameless' abilities are perhaps legitimate Force powers that could be learned by dark-side users. However, it also teases where the Nameless might have come from prior to being used by both the Nihil and the preceding Force cult known as the Path of the Open Hand.
