We’ve known the Star Wars galaxy has music that sounds like Earth jazz, thanks to the cantina band in A New Hope. And we also know they have music that sounds like disco, ever since Jabba’s palace in Return of the Jedi. But thanks to episode 3 of Andor season two, we now know the galaxy also has a version of EDM. And that’s because Senator Mon Mothma (Genevieve O’Reilly) was losing herself to the beat of a high-energy dance track at her daughter’s wedding in that episode. And a lot of fans took a liking to that music. Now, the official Star Wars channel has uploaded a video of Mon dancing to this song for a full hour. You can watch it right here:
These weddings on the planet Chandrilla take three days to complete. But at least they look like they end with a bang. Honestly, who hasn’t been just like Mon Mothma in this scene at least once in their lives? We’ve all gonna a little too tipsy at a wedding, and made fools of ourselves on the dance floor. Mon certainly has reason to forget her worries on the dance floor in this episode. It’s at her daughter’s nuptials that she realized just how serious things had become for her and the Rebellion.
In an interview with Vulture, O’Reilly said this about the dance scene: “What we’re witnessing here is a woman who is dancing to stop herself from screaming. We’re seeing a woman physicalize the chaos that is in her head at that moment. She has to.” It’s good Mon Mothma got to cut loose for at least a brief moment. Star Wars fans know by Andor’s end, she’ll become the leader of the Rebel Alliance. The Rebellion’s true figurehead in the fight against the Empire. So she might as well cut the rug at a fancy party while she still can.
