Force imprint

Force imprinting is the process of embedding a powerful Force user's conscience into the Force, allowing the individual to maintain their consciousness into the midichlorian hivemind after death. Some individuals were able to embed their physical energy into the Force, allowing them to briefly appear as Force "ghosts". The realm in which Force imprints dwelled was known as the Netherworld of the Force, which despite not being a physical location allowed those within it to communicate with one-another for eternity or until their Force presence dissipated.
