    Well.

    Canonical heaven is the merger of soul with the origin, the universe, and everything, aka Gawwwwwwwddddd, becoming one with eternity, past, future, and present.

    That is, apparently, what happens to everyone with midichlorians until Qui-Gon figured out how to maintain and project a personality from it. They are, effectively, the “angels” of Star Wars. Not necessarily separate from The Force but a personality in their own right within it, for a time. Apparently it’s harder after time passes and the personality loses direct connections with the current state of the galaxy.

    The neat thing about that, beyond the typical Westernization of Eastern belief systems that is the Star Wars Force philosophy, is that that interpretation is actually pretty interesting with the revisioning of the Sith as some kind of dark and twisted pursuit of eternal life instead of an acceptance of your place in the cosmos/ as part of of Gawwwwwwddd’s/TheForces plan/self/servant/whatever. Kind of a reimagining of the Evil Necromancer.
