Vostrakha The Impossible Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Can someone explain to me what Spirit Stars actually are in the Bionicle Universe? I rewatched the second Bionicle movie, and now I'm sort of confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taipu1 Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 The exact nature of the Stars in the MU I'm not sure of, they haven't been seen up close. They are however representative of Mata Nui's thoughts, which dictate destiny in the universe and can therefore be used by Matoran to predict the future. Spirit stars are created to show the presence of Toa in the MU, presumably showing Mata Nui's awareness of them, and that their destiny is particularly relevant. As long as the star is in the sky, the Toa is still alive, and the star shows the Toas general location. That's everything I know on the subject.

Anti Nui Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 (edited) ^To add to that, Spirit Stars are able to exist both inside and outside the Matoran Universe, and it is not known how. I have a theory that perhaps they are merely illusions "projected" into the sky by the Toa themselves, and they are not physical objects. We've even seen the Toa Inika create their own Spirit Stars with their Toa tools, so perhaps all Toa do this in some way, whether intentionally or unintentionally. Additionally, it seems that sometimes Toa don't get their stars until they are acknowledged by the Great Spirit himself to be true Toa, and sometimes Matoran who are to become Toa get them before they transform. So perhaps Mata Nui can remotely designate which Toa or destined Matoran will be able to have a star.

Dralcax Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Well, I'm pretty sure the stars represent Mata Nui's thought processes and mental activity, so I think it's just part of the code that keeps track of the various Toa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toatapio Nuva Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 The fact that Spirit Stars can exist outside the MU does not make any sense to me, at least. Perhaps the stars are maintained by the Toa themselves, somehow, and the stars really wouldn't be stars. No idea.

I guess that would explain why the Toa Metru didn't get their Toa Stars until after they defeated Makuta as well. Quote Three on Three - Memoirs of the Dead - Winner!!!

Dralcax Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Because Takua came in contanct with the Mask of Light. Takua didn't transform yet, but the MU systems considered him sort of a honorary Toa before he transformed. As for the Toa Metru, well, they weren't recognized as true Toa yet.

25K Now! Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I consider them basically beams of light in the sky that represent the Toa. You know, like the green crystal thingies in the Sims? Quote http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katuko Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I can't remember right now, but didn't the Toa Metru try to follow Lhikan's star for a while? I believe that's how they found him in the prison the Dark Hunter's had thrown him into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Constructelf Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yeah, they did.Takua was on Aqua Magna when his spirit start showed up; how would of the MU systems recognized it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katuko Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Well, the MU was right under his feet on Aqua Magna, so that's probably what did it. The Inika stars, on the other hand, seemed to be formed half by themselves and half by the Red Star energies, as they flew up there and started orbiting the Red Star once created. It almost seems like they are formed by Toa energy or something similar, are quite small, and is "bonded" to the Toa in such a way that they gravitate towards them as the Toa moves.

Master Inika Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Spirit stars are indeed mysterious. They seem to not just poof into existence when Matoran Becomes Toa.Also, Lhikan's spirit star remained in existence until his death, even after he became a Turaga, which is curious.To add to the discrepancy, Vakama, Matau, and Nokama go to Po-Metru to find Lhikan because they are following Lhikan's star. The Toa Nuva's stars were stationary. Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times. Your past is forgotten, and your future is an empty book.

bonesiii Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Maybe Toa actually subconsciously project them? So their behavior would be based on what their subconsciouses knew was needed in a particular situation. It would fit the name.
