| Stars Are Souls | comment |
For thousands of years, man has gazed at the stars and wondered what they are. He made up stories and legends about them. One of those stories was that stars were souls or spirits, watching down upon the Earth. This probably has its origins in modern stories in two sources. The first is Greek Mythology, in which many of the constellations were heroes placed there by the gods for their heroic deeds. The second is Plato's Cosmology, which asserted that every soul has a companion star that it returns to upon death, so long as it lived a just life. Another common interpretation inverts the original assumption, and instead holds that each star represents a living soul. When a new child is born a new star will appear in the sky and, when the star's associated person dies, it disappears. Some versions blend these two takes by having the star that appears to mark a person's death be, specifically, a falling star than soon vanishes over the horizon. This is Older Than Feudalism. This trope exists because of the logic of its Super-Trope, Heaven Above, where anything skyward is associated with everything divine. Related to Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence and Died Happily Ever After. For cases where someone becomes a constellation or a specific star, see Stellification. Compare to Winds Are Ghosts for another natural phenomenon associated with deceased spirits. As a Death Trope, all Spoilers will be unmarked ahead. Beware. |

Marvel Comics 2: In Last Hero Standing, Loki made a last ditch attempt to destroy all the heroes. He was thwarted, but not without heavy casualties, Captain America among them. Allfather Thor honors him by transforming his body into a star whose corona resembles his shield, visible from Earth to all as an enduring symbol of hope. | |

Disney Animated Canon: The Lion King: The Lion King (1994): Simba says he was taught that the stars are the spirits of the old kings, which gets a confirmation when he later gets a starry vision of his father. Timon, on the other hand, claims that stars are fireflies that got stuck in the sky. Amusingly, Pumbaa proposes the scientifically correct explanation ("balls of gas burning billions of miles away") and is brushed off. When Simba tells them what he thinks, they laugh at such an idea. The Lion King II: Simba's Pride: Kiara mentions that Simba told her the above all the time, leading Kovu to wonder if Scar is also up there. Pocahontas: Originally, Pocahontas' mother's spirit was supposed to be represented by a single bright star in the sky. However, because the Lion King team was already using this trope, it was decided that the Pocahontas crew needed to do something different, hence the motif of leaves blowing on the breeze. The Princess and the Frog: Ray the firefly is in love with the Evening Star, whom he thinks is a lady firefly named Evangeline. When he dies, he becomes a star, and hangs right next to "her" in the sky. Meaning Timon was right all along. |

Lufia II: Rise of the Sinistrals: Maxim and his comrade/wife, Selan, kick the bucket at the conclusion. However, the epilogue expands on the events, with Maxim soldiering on even after his party has frittered away and Selan has been killed. He dies from exhaustion after completing his mission, whereupon he sees Selan's spirit and turns into a star. The pair of them float across the world map and take one last look at their infant son, who seems to sense their presence. | |

The Divine Comedy: Subverted. Upon ascending into Heaven, it seems as if every human soul ascends to a different Heavenly body, whether it be a star or one of the planets. Our hero finds it odd that somehow the pagan philosophers were right about this, but God's messenger, Beatrice, explains that the souls only appear on different stars and planets to help our hero understand the distinctions between types of saints. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: 4th Edition cast a negative light over this trope: each star in the sky is an aspect of an Eldritch Abomination outside the world, peering into reality. The Warlock class (who are not nice people) gain power from those stars, and their magic spells have particularly Lovecraftian flavor. Would anyone want to be watched by those stars? | |

In Son of the White Horse, the White Mare's spirit becomes a star leading his son Treeshaker to his two brothers, then to the gate to the Underworld. Throughout, constellations also symbolize events, objects, creatures and people, and it's implied the protagonists eventually become stars too on a "diamond field" (field of stars) in an "eggshell" (the sky dome). Modern technology and pollution dim the light of said stars, representing the loss of old values. | |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Justice For All: Discussed. A ringmaster uses this as an euphemism for death for his animal tamer daughter. (In the Japanese version, the ringmaster says the dead are sleeping.) Problem is, the daughter truly believes in this, and in a roundabout way this leads to a murder. | |

Earth's Children: The Clan of the Cave Bear contains a scene where Creb tells Ayla and Uba that stars are the hearth fires of those who have died and passed on to the world of the spirits. He also says the Clan's totem spirits have their own "fires" and points out the "fires" of the Cave Bear and the Cave Lion. | |

The Little Match Girl: The little girl's grandmother told her falling stars represent someone dying. As she sits in the cold, unable to get warm, afraid to go home since she's sold no matches, the little girl sees a star fall. | |

Ultraman: When Ultraman is forced to dispose of the peaceful drawing-based kaiju Gabadon to the dismay of its child creators, he instead turns the creature into a constellation so the kids will always be able to see their handiwork in the night sky (not unlike what the Greek gods do). Return of Ultraman: Ultraman Jack turns deceased kaiju into constellations on two different occasions. First time to the undead Stegon when children beg him not to kill the creature as sympathy for its grave being disturbed; and second time to Magnedon, a Gentle Giant with Magnetism Manipulation whom Jack feels bad for killing. |

Sailor Moon: The '90s anime has an episode where a dreamy astronomy teacher references this trope during a show in which he and Taiki are participating. He believes that people become stars when they die. Taiki gets annoyed and says that stars can only be made by living people. Particularly interesting because in Sailor Moon a senshi's Star Seed is her essence — this is what Taiki is referencing in this case. But a senshi can be reborn after death as long as her Star Seed intact, so it's the same thing as a soul. | |

Zero Punctuation: In an Extra Punctuation entry released after Yahtzee played Middle-earth: Shadow of Mordor, he relates that he (forcibly) made friends with a certain orc named Khosh the Drunk, which he went on many adventures with. When his buddy was killed in a castle raid gone awry, he says that "There was a new star in the sky that night. A little sweaty green one that drank too much." | |

It's a Wonderful Life: At the beginning, some angels are talking and the visuals shown are a galaxy and a nebula that flash in synch with their voices. Then Clarence is summoned and a smaller star shoots into view. Clarence is also explained to have died previously, although it's not mentioned whether the other two angels were ever people. | |

Kingdom Hearts: The stars in the represent worlds as a whole and disappear from the night sky when that particular world is submerged in darkness. Kingdom Hearts II has the Pride Lands as a world, which reaffirms the plot point from the movie that the old rulers of Pride Rock become stars in the sky upon death. This is also shown in Birth by Sleep, when, after Master Xehanort strikes down Master Eraqus in front of a horrified Terra, Yen Sid notes, "Eraqus's star has blinked out." The contradictions can just be chalked up to the worlds running on the Theory of Narrative Causality. | |

Happy Heroes: Kalo mentions at the beginning of the "God of War Legend" story arc that he's heard a legend about heroes turning into stars in the sky upon their death, as rays of light and hope, and he wonders to himself if he'll become a star. He actually does perform a Heroic Sacrifice at the end of the arc, and Arcas consoles his friend Careful S. afterwards, repeating this same sentiment. | |
