At least this one is harmless.
Robby the Robot became a science fiction legend in the 1956 film, Forbidden Planet. He's so popular with science fiction fans that he has appeared in a variety of films and TV shows.
And someone thought they saw him in the background of Watto's junk shop in the Star Wars film, "The Phantom Menace." Numerous Star Wars fansites and Robby fansites state as fact that he appears in the film. My wife is a Star Wars fanatic, and we watched the DVD but couldn't spot Robby. Today she checked a variety of fansites stating that he appears in the film, but none showed any pictures. Then she slow-motioned the entire sequence in the junk shop. There are several pieces of junked robots in the background, but none of them look like Robby.
Robby the Robot has never appeared in a Star Wars film.
Of course, this one is harmless. But be careful about what you believe on the internet. A large number of unreliable witnesses is not sufficient proof.
