The ending of Star vs. the Forces of Evil, famously known as "Cleaved," marked a transformative and definitive conclusion for the series, witnessing the complete destruction of magic and the permanent merging of the dimensions of Mewni and Earth into one unified world.
The Ultimate Sacrifice: The End of Magic
In the climactic finale, Star Butterfly, facing the impossible choice of saving one dimension at the cost of another, made the ultimate sacrifice: she decided to destroy all magic to stop the relentless interdimensional war and prevent the forces of Mewni and Earth from annihilating each other. This monumental act had far-reaching consequences:
- Erasure of Magical Beings: Glossaryck, the Magic High Commission, and all other creatures inherently made of magic were erased from existence. Their purpose fulfilled, or their very being tied to magic, they vanished as magic itself ceased to be.
- The Solarian Army's Demise: The formidable Solarian Army, a powerful force powered by dark magic, was completely destroyed.
- Healing of the Wounded: All individuals who had been wounded or afflicted by Solarian magic were subsequently healed, as the source of their magical ailments was eradicated.
A New Reality: Mewni and Earth United
Following the destruction of magic, the dimensions of Mewni and Earth did not separate as intended. Instead, they cleaved together, physically merging into a single, new dimension. This created a hybrid world where creatures from both realms now coexisted.
The immediate aftermath saw several key character developments:
- Friends Returned Home: All of Star's friends who had been displaced or were in other dimensions were safely returned to their respective homes within this newly merged world.
- Star and Marco's Reunion: After a poignant separation across dimensions, Star and Marco Diaz were finally reunited in the merged reality, finding each other on a bridge connecting what were once their separate homes. Their reunion signified the start of their new lives in this unique, magic-free world.
The ending provided a sense of finality, closing the chapter on Star's magical adventures but opening a new one focused on the integration of two distinct worlds and the challenges and possibilities that come with such a radical change.
