Osha & Mae’s Potential Rise Of Skywalker Connection Addressed By The Acolyte Showrunner

Star Wars: The Acolyte showrunner Leslye Headland discusses whether Mae and Osha may be a Force Dyad. The concept was first explained in The Rise of Skywalker when Rey and Kylo Ren were revealed to be a Force Dyad, which addressed their deep connection to each other through the Force.

In an interview with Collider, Headland shared her thoughts on the Force Dyad in The Rise of Skywalker and whether this connection also applies to Mae and Osha. Check out Headland’s comments below:

Very interesting. I talked to Pablo a lot about it, and we started to talk about whether or not we wanted to tease it or whether or not we wanted to confirm it. I hope that people end with just not really knowing. I do think it’s something worth exploring if we get to continue telling the story, but I also felt strongly that I shouldn’t namedrop Force Dyad, because it felt a little inside baseball for a regular viewer. Already, we were trying to get them on board with the Vergence [laughs], so it was like, to add another piece of vocabulary that may not necessarily translate…

Here’s what I’ll say. I think that there’s a world where Sol just doesn’t have the vocabulary or information to express what he’s looking at. He may have misread what he saw. After everything he’s done, I’m not sure he’s a reliable narrator at this point, you know? So I was interested in keeping it vague enough that you could explore it on your own. Again, this is the way I felt.

More to come…
