Hmm. The galaxy abhors a vacuum, though. Another may rise in your place.
You seem to have touched upon the Force here. We have two distinct theories, about the Living Force and the Unifying Force. I have experienced both, although I not the expert in either, and hopefully others here who have more knowledge can teach us both. This is much like the Living Force, the connection that unites us all even after death.
