- "We Mind Walkers come from a great many traditions. The Disciples of Ragnos, the Fallanassi, the Jensaarai, the Potentium Heretics, the Reborn, the Far Seekers, the Inner Seers and ten dozen more."
- ―Seek Ryontarr, to Luke Skywalker[2]
Mind Walkers were a group ofForce-sensitives living atSinkhole Station, aspace station inthe Maw. They learned how to separate their minds from their bodies in order to go to a realm ofthe Force calledbeyond shadows. The Mind Walkers did not originate from a single Force-tradition, but from many various traditions. Each tradition brought understanding; however, they all felt that their former sects did not understand the truth, as they came to believe that everything but the Force was an illusion. They first came to that belief following the destruction ofCenterpoint Station. While traveling beyond shadows, however, it was impossible to keep track of time and the Mind Walkers were unable to take care of their bodies, so they often became very malnourished, usingthe Force tosustain themselves.
History[]
The Mind Walkers lived on Sinkhole Station, a space station in the Maw very similar in appearance toCenterpoint Station. TheAing-Tii were aware of this group, and disapproved of them, calling them "Mind Drinkers." After theYuuzhan Vong War,Jacen Solo met with the Mind Walkers and traveled beyond shadows with them during his five year sojourn. In43.5 ABYexiledJediGrand MasterLuke Skywalker and his sonBen, who had embarked on a quest to retrace the steps Solo took during his travels in order to find out more about his fall to thedark side of the Force, traveled to Sinkhole Station to meet with the Mind Walkers.
While with the Mind Walkers, the two Skywalkers traveled beyond shadows, where they were shown many places, including theFont of Power, thePool of Knowledge, and theLake of Apparitions, where they met with the deceased spirits of JediAnakin Solo,Mara Jade Skywalker, and Jacen Solo.
