Is The Acolyte Redefining A Force Dyad?

So let's just get this out of the way, a Force Dyad as a concept has not really been properly explained since it's introduction (a term I use loosely here) in The Rise of Skywalker. This is a concept that is used to define the relationship between Rey and Ben but, if I remember correctly, it's not even mentioned by name in the movie. As is the case with Star Wars in general, things tend to be introduced, half-explained in an effort to navigate a potential plot hole or act as a plot device, and then is fully explained in the decades later through ancillary materials. It appears that The Acolyte is fleshing out this concept and dovetailing it with the idea of Anakin's immaculate Force conception.

Episode three brought back the idea of the immaculate Force conception, something first introduced in The Phantom Menace when it is revealed that Anakin Skywalker was born of the Force. This was later to be explained to be manipulation of the Force by Darth Sidious which was originally carried out by Osha and Mae's mother. The seventh episode reveals that this attempt was not successful because Mother Aniseya ended up with twins that split the consciousness into the two bodies.

This episode also reintroduces the idea of a Force Vergence that can create life. This isn't the first time we've seen one of these because there have been Vergences in canon multiple times. The cave on Dagobah where Luke fights the apparition of Vader in Empire Strikes Back, the cave Rey goes into on Ach-To in The Last Jedi, and the Shrine in the Depths on Coruscant were massive concentrations in the Force that affected the perception of the world around the Jedi. This episode reveals that there was one on Brendok, a planet previously destroyed in the Legacy Run disaster that was so powerful it brought life back to the planet. The implication is that the Nightsisters manipulated this vergence to create Osha and Mae of the Force.

So what is the point of all this? Why add in the idea that Anakin was not the first immaculate Force conception? I believe it is because they really like the idea of the Force Dyad and, rather than letting it just die, they're trying to dovetail Anakin's story with Rey and Kylo's because (as Lucas would say) it's like poetry, it rhymes. A Force Dyad is when there are two people who are powerful in the force and bound to each other as two separate individuals, but one in the Force. The viewer is clubbed over the head with this concept in the flashback episodes of The Acolyte but elsewhere it's a little more subtle. It appears that the point here was to marry the two concepts and explain why Anakin was considered the chosen one.

Let's look at the two major dyads we have seen in canon so far. Osha and Mae are the product of an immaculate Force conception via manipulation of a Vergence. The origins of Rey and Ben's dyad is unknown, however both Ben's corruption into Kylo Ren and Rey's birth as a daughter of a failed Palpatine clone are based in the Vergence on Exegol that Palpatine was manipulating. This brings us to Anakin. This theory does contend that there is in fact a Vergence somewhere on Tatooine (furthest point from the bright shining center of the galaxy that we somehow can't get away from) and that Palpatine was manipulating it with the intent to create his own dyad between himself and his new apprentice.

My theory is that Palpatine was not entirely unsuccessful in his plan, it just was not in the way he intended. I believe Palpatine was successful in his attempts to create a dyad, the dyad was just within Anakin/Darth Vader. The evidence to this comes from the fact that the franchise goes out of its way to make abundantly clear that Anakin and Darth Vader are perceived as two entirely different people. Considering one of the things that a dyad can do is funnel their lifeforce back and forth and even sacrifice their own life to resurrect the other, it does put the sacrifice of Vader at the end of Return of the Jedi in an interesting light. This also puts us in a position to revisit the life support systems that Palpatine put Vader in after he attended his barbecue with Obi-Wan on Mustafar where the existing canon explanation (keep Vader in pain and rage to keep his power at the maximum) may not be accurate and may have been an attempt to hold Vader back from the maximum power he was truly capable of.

The idea of two individuals as one in the force is the way to explain away why Anakin's existence is prophesized. He's not just a being born of the Force, he's a being born of the Force with the power of a dyad but in one person. He has all the power of two powerful force beings but wrapped into one which would still make him someone worthy of a prophecy. That said, this is all a theory so I could be wrong but I think the evidence is starting to stack up.
