I wonder how many people are catching the significance of Emet's voiceover in the launch trailer when he says "Treasure every moment, every step of your descent, and there in the depths where souls and stars rest, find your truth." He's not talking about stars in the sky (we would have to ascend to find those, not descend). He's probably talking about preserved memories, like those we collected in Amaurot in 5.3.

Also may pay to remember that those collected stars (except Azem's) were gathered up by Elidibus at the end and appeared to be drawn with him into the Tower. I don't think that's pertinent to 6.0 but it may be important to story in the future.
I think his voiceover is specifically referring to us going into the aetherial sea/lifestream. Especially since the preceding lines talk about how everything comes to an end. I admit the stars part requires a little new lore or malleability to fit it (do stars go to the lifestream when they die? perhaps the rejoined shards' aether used it as a conduit to the source?). But otherwise, the VO fits a journey into the aetherial sea.

I think this is also the true meaning of "Endwalker". When taken in the context of the launch trailer VO, we will literally be walking where all things go when they end.

Plenty of opportunity for writers to punch us in the feelings with the resting souls of our departed friends and enemies (Lahabrea included?) there, as well.
