  • On July 19, 2024, a Facebook post from the page YODA BBY ABY claimed to show a poster for Season Two of "The Acolyte," a television series set in the Star Wars universe. The post, which had amassed more than 9,000 likes and 3,700 comments as of this writing, showed a new character claiming it was Darth Plagueis, a Sith lord. The caption of the Facebook post, which also claimed the show would be released in 2026, read: BREAKING NEWS!!! A new season of The Acolyte is coming in 2026, featuring a tantalizing still shot of Darth Plagueis. An anonymous source close to the production team has leaked this thrilling news, igniting fan excitement. Prepare for dark secrets and epic confrontations as the saga continues. (Facebook user YODA BBY ABY) However, the above claim was fabricated and there was no evidence this was an authentic poster for Season Two of the show. The first season of "The Acolyte" concluded in July 2024, and streaming service Disney+ has not yet announced plans for Season Two, as of this writing. If it had, there would have been mainstream news coverage and confirmations from the show's main stars. A Google reverse-image search also yielded no authentic sources for the poster. The post originated from a Facebook page that is satirical in nature. YODA BBY ABY described everything it posts as satirical. According to its Facebook introduction: "I'm just here to eat frogs, lift rocks and be satirical. The page is 100% satire and fake news." Given the disclaimer on the page, we rated this claim as "Labeled Satire." The final episode of the first season of "The Acolyte" did, however, reveal the character of Darth Plagueis. The show's creator, Leslye Headland, told IndieWire, a television and movie news outlet, the character was meant to appear in the finale. Plagueis was notably mentioned in "Star Wars Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith" by Palpatine, who eventually drew Anakin to the dark side and turned him into Darth Vader, setting in motion the events of the main "Star Wars" series. This was not the first time we've fact-checked posts from this Facebook page. The same account falsely claimed a live-action version of the animated movie "Spirited Away" was in the works, as well as a remake of "Mrs. Doubtfire" starring Will Smith. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
