The Acolyte: Victoria Monét’s “Power of Two” joins the pop music legacy of Star Wars
As a long-time Star Wars fan with a deep appreciation for the rich musical history of this iconic universe, I was thoroughly captivated by the latest episode of The Acolyte. The emotional depth and intrigue that unfolded in “Choice” were truly remarkable. The revelations about Mae’s anger and Osha’s confusion added layers to their characters, making their stories even more compelling.
In Episode 7 of “Star Wars: The Acolyte,” titled “Choice,” we delve deeper into the mysterious events on Brendok, revealing a gripping and disquieting sequence of events (supposedly). This episode sheds light on why Mae is enraged and Osha is perplexed. As the show came to an end and the credits began to roll, Victoria Monét’s haunting song “Power of Two” played, a tune that has lingered over the series since its debut in June.
As a devoted fan, I’d express it this way: The song itself held an abstract allure with its stirring and emotional melody. But once I made a personal connection to it, the power was truly unleashed. According to Sabina Graves of Gizmodo, this transformation can be quite profound.
Its lyrics explore the themes of duality and destiny shared by the sisters. More like a song of Star Wars lore than a Disney-style soundtrack needle drop, the song would fit right into the in-universe canon as a musical peace about the twins’ High Republic-era saga.
Another possibility: However, there are more elements we can incorporate into a Star Wars music compilation. Graves mentions that the Star Wars: Galactic Star Cruiser experience at Walt Disney World and Disneyland includes music by Gaya, which shares similarities with “Power of Two.” Although some may prefer to disregard The Star Wars Holiday Special, it offers songs like Princess Leia’s “A Day to Celebrate,” as well as contributions from Bea Arthur and Jefferson Starship.
In less common tunes of “Return of the Jedi,” prior to the introduction of “Jedi Rock,” there was the 1983 hit “Lapti Nek” featuring the lyrics, “My entire body’s jumping, I’m exercising and enjoying it.” These words bring Olivia Newton-John’s “Physical” to mind. As a devoted fan of “Hamilton,” I was thrilled to learn that Lin-Manuel Miranda created both “Dobra Doompa” and “Jabba Flow” for the band at Maz Kanata’s castle on Takodana, even lending his voice to sing these tracks alongside J.J. Abrams. Less formally recognized in Star Wars lore is a young Jedi named Weird-Al who documented the research of two Skywalkers with a touch of humor.
As a long-time fan of the Star Wars universe, I’m thrilled that The Acolyte has reached its conclusion this week. Throughout the season, I’ve been intrigued by how the “Power of Two” theme has unfolded, weaving its way into the overall story arc and shaping the legacy of Aniseya.
