😂 Palmeiras go full Darth Vader to mock hoodoo over São Paulo

This Saturday (12), Palmeiras beat São Paulo 2-0 at Nubank Parque in Round 27 of the 2026 Brasileirão.

A few minutes after the derby win, Verdão's social media admin posted a video mocking their São Paulo rival.

Actually, not a rival. According to Palmeiras fans, the Choque-Rei has already become a case of "parenthood."

The mocking video is a parody of the classic scene from the film "Star Wars: Episode V — The Empire Strikes Back," where Darth Vader reveals he is Luke Skywalker's father.

In this case, Darth Vader is dressed up as the "Pig" (Palmeiras' mascot) and in green (instead of black, associated with arch-rival Corinthians).

And after the "paternity reveal," a screenshot appears on the screen showing the results of the last seven derbies, with seven Palmeiras wins over São Paulo.

In fact, Verdão is now on a 13-match unbeaten run against the Morumbi Tricolor, with nine wins and four draws.

São Paulo's last win in the Choque-Rei was a 2-1 victory on July 13, 2023, in the second leg of that year's Copa do Brasil quarterfinals (3-1 on aggregate and qualification for the semifinals).

Jokes aside, the Choque-Rei has historically been marked by balance, with 114 Palmeiras wins, 104 draws, and 110 São Paulo victories.

The classic meme of a São Paulo fan furious with the Tricolor players from a few years ago was also "remembered" by Palmeiras on social media.
