A SpoileryStar WarsRumor Heats Up After YouTube Edit

Star Wars fans have been buzzing about a potentially huge reveal innew footage from The Acolyte , and now a rum change to that footage on YouTube append fuel to the fire of its accuracy .

The Acolyte , which debuts on Disney+ June 4 , is about a Jedi Master identify Sol ( Squid Game ’s Lee Jung - jae ) who sets out on a mission to enquire criminal offense that are being committed by his former learner , Mae ( Amandla Stenberg ) . Did she do it ? Did she not?A new TV spot ends with Stenberg ’s characterpleading with her master that “ I did n’t do it ! Believe me . ” Only , something is n’t quite right . This is where this rumor come in . Here ’s the clip , bid “ Plan . ”

take down : If what follow is true , it uncover a likely major plot of ground decimal point in The Acolyte . If you want to be extra safe and not be spoiled , we suggest leaving now .

In the moment at the end of the footage , fans ( such as the onesover at Bespin Bulletin ) noticed that the caption in the beginning referred to Stenberg as “ Osha ” rather of “ Mae , ” which is the character ’s name that has been publically revealed . That , along with the fact “ Osha ” is dress totally differently than “ Mae , ” give a rumor that Stenberg is playing twins on The Acolyte , one on the route of the Dark Side , one on the path of the Light Side .

But is that true ? Is it not ? Was it a mistake ? Those are questions we do n’t have answers to but io9 did mark a fairly significant art object of grounds strongly suggesting someone did not desire the “ Osha ” part name out there .

At some pointedness since the “ Plan ” TV smirch was upload three days ago , the caption preferences on YouTube appear to have changed . The subtitle on the video default option to “ English ( Auto Generated ) , ” which does not have character names . On the contrary , every other television on the Star Wars YouTube that we see has an extra option call “ English ( United States ) , ” which does have character name . So , did Lucasfilm ask for those to be turned off to protect the enigma ? We do n’t recognise . io9 pass out to Lucasfilm for clarification or clearness on this topic and will update the place if or when we hear back .

Again , perhaps this is just a error . Maybe after this post goes up , the caption configurations will be updated ( or rewritten ) . perhaps Osha is another character entirely . Or , mayhap , someone messed up , got caught , and this is covering up the pamperer . What do you retrieve is lawful ?

We ’re sure to notice out soon when Star war : The Acolyte premieres June 4 onDisney+ .
