How Were Mae and Osha Born? THE ACOLYTE Showrunner Promises Finale Answers About Twins’ Origins

One of the biggest mysteries in Star Wars: The Acolyte is how exactly its main characters, Mae and Osha, were born. We’ve recieved hints about the twins’ origins throughout the series, coming to understand that their mothers belonged to a cult of Force witches and that the Star Wars concept of a vergence in the Force, a concentration of Force energy around a person or place, is somehow involved. However, just how exactly Mae and Osha were created on The Acolyte is a question that we can’t answer in detail… yet. The Acolyte‘s showrunner Lesyle Headland promises the season one finale of the Star Wars series will give us all the answers we seek about Mae and Osha’s origins.

Here’s what Headland had to say to Nerdist about answering one of The Acolyte‘s biggest questions about Mae, Osha, and their creation before season’s-end. When we echoed Master Sol’s question to her (“The twins, where did they come from? How were they created?”), she responded, “Well…uh…tune in next week. Also subscribe to Disney+.” But added more specifically:

Tune in next week. Tune in next week. We definitely aren’t going to leave you hanging. You do a show like this, you take a lot of risks, you don’t really save a lot of those types of questions for season two. There are a lot of things you do save for a season two, but that kind of question is not one of them.

And there we have it. The Acolyte‘s season finale will reveal exactly how the twins were born. So if you have theories about Mae and Osha’s origins on The Acolyte, you’d better get them out into the world now. It sounds like there won’t be any loose ends concerning the twins’ creations after the next episode of The Acolyte airs.

Honestly, we’re excited to know that The Acolyte will reveal everything we need to know about how Mae and Osha came to be born before the ending of the first season. The key to a good mystery is to build it just enough and then deliver a satisfying explanation for it.
