00:00Welcome back everyone.

00:08It is Amelia.

00:09I hope you are fine.

00:10The Acolyte Episode 7 was just released and the episode ended with a brand new song.

00:15The Acolyte Episode 7 showcased another flashback to Brendoke 16 years earlier.

00:21However, instead of just getting Osha, Amandla Stenberg's perspective of the events that

00:26killed her whole family, audiences got to see it from multiple different sides including

00:31the JD and Osha's sister May.

00:33In this flashback, audiences see how the witches of Brendoke really died and how the JD covered

00:38up their mistakes on Brendoke.

00:40The first 6 episodes of The Acolyte concluded with instrumental music playing over the concludes.

00:46This music varied from episode to episode but always connected with the music that had

00:51been featured earlier in that episode.

00:53However, The Acolyte Episode 7 changes this and instead features a brand new song with

00:58vocals in it.

00:59Star Wars is known for its iconic scores most famously by John Williams but The Acolyte

01:04changes things up by introducing a song that is based on the show instead of featured in

01:09it.

01:10The Acolyte's composer Michael Ibbels collaborated with Victoria Monáe and D. Mile to write

01:15and produce the song heard in The Acolyte Episode 7's credits.

01:19The song, Power of Two, was inspired by the show and the title alone invokes the chant

01:23heard by the witches of Brendoke in The Acolyte Episode 3.

01:27Additionally, the Sith Lord Kimmel told Osha in The Acolyte Episode 6 that he desired the

01:32Power of Two.

01:33While this can be connected to the Sith Rule of Two, the phrasing Kimmel used seems to

01:37be invoking the witches from Osha's home planet.

01:40It's nothing new that music was written for a Star Wars project.

01:44However, The Power of Two is the first time a pop song was released as part of Star Wars.

01:50Other notable Star Wars songs like Duel of the Fates include vocals but The Power of

01:55Two wasn't written to be used in the show.

01:58Instead, the song complements The Acolyte Episode 7 and was designed to be used in the

02:03credits.

02:04This choice certainly gives the ending a more cinematic feel and makes it feel like the

02:08end of a major chapter in these characters' journeys.

02:12Mae hates that Osha was a JD whereas Osha cannot forgive Mae for killing JD or for starting

02:17the fire that she believes killed her family.

02:20Other lyrics in The Power of Two indicate feelings of blame and losing a battle with

02:25your other half.

02:26These lyrics hint that Mae and Osha being a virgins in the Force will forever put them

02:30at odds with one another, no matter who they are aligned with.

02:34With only one episode remaining in The Acolyte, hopefully, audiences will get some answers

02:39about the future of Osha and Mae's relationship.

02:42Give me some ideas related to my video in comments on below.
