Mae prowling into the noodle shop on Ueda to duel — and best — Jedi Master Indara was a crucial moment for The Acolyte. As the cold open for the series, the moment sets the tone and expectations for the story to come. But composer Michael Abels was adamant that it wouldn’t be the first piece of music he composed for the project.

“I didn’t do it first because you kind of need to understand what’s going to happen before you take on an introduction to something so epic,” Abels tells StarWars.com. “I worked on that scene for a long, long time to get it just right.”

Instead, Abels — whose work,

Two sisters, so alike yet so different.

In the latest episode of The Acolyte, we must confront the aftermath of the conflict on Khofar, and its implications of a looming darkness. And we’re not alone. Masquerading as her sister thanks to a quick lightsaber-assisted haircut, Mae (Amandla Stenberg) is once again aboard the Polan, this time traveling in the company of Master

Charlie Barnett knew exactly what he was getting into when he signed on for The Acolyte.
