Star Wars followers have been buzzing a couple of probably enormous reveal in new footage from The Acolyte, and now a curious change to that footage on YouTube provides gasoline to the fireplace of its accuracy.
The Acolyte, which debuts on Disney+ June 4, is a couple of Jedi Grasp named Sol (Squid Game’s Lee Jung-jae) who units out on a mission to analyze crimes which can be being dedicated by his former apprentice, Mae (Amandla Stenberg). Did she do it? Did she not? A new TV spot ends with Stenberg’s character pleading together with her grasp that “I didn’t do it! Imagine me.” Solely, one thing isn’t fairly proper. That is the place this rumor is available in. Right here’s the clip, referred to as “Plan.”
Be aware: If what follows is true, it reveals a possible main plot level in The Acolyte. If you wish to be further protected and never be spoiled, we propose leaving now.
Within the second on the finish of the footage, followers (resembling those over at Bespin Bulletin) seen that the subtitles initially referred to Stenberg as “Osha” as an alternative of “Mae,” which is the character’s title that has been publically revealed. That, together with the very fact “Osha” is dressed fully otherwise than “Mae,” feeds a rumor that Stenberg is taking part in twins on The Acolyte, one on the trail of the Darkish Aspect, one on the trail of the Mild Aspect.
However is that true? Is it not? Was it a mistake? These are questions we don’t have solutions to however io9 did discover a reasonably important piece of proof strongly suggesting somebody didn’t need the “Osha” character title on the market.
Sooner or later because the “Plan” TV spot was uploaded three days in the past, the subtitle settings on YouTube seem to have modified. The subtitles on the video default to “English (Auto Generated),” which doesn’t have character names. Quite the opposite, each different video on the Star Wars YouTube that we checked has a further possibility referred to as “English (United States),” which does have character names. So, did Lucasfilm ask for these to be turned off to guard the key? We don’t know. io9 reached out to Lucasfilm for clarification or readability on this matter and can replace the submit if or after we hear again.
Once more, possibly that is only a mistake. Possibly after this submit goes up, the subtitle settings will probably be up to date (or rewritten). Possibly Osha is one other character fully. Or, possibly, somebody tousled, received caught, and that is protecting up the spoiler. What do you assume is true?
We’re certain to seek out out quickly when Star Wars: The Acolyte premieres June 4 on Disney+.
