I don't think we should blame ol' George for our own racisms being ascribed

Still, I think he shoulda kept subtitles, just to cover his bum.

I didn't mean to sound racist, that's just the way the aliens sounded to me.
It just reminded me of some old anime shows I used to watch with the
subtitles. Talking about subtitles, when I rented Ep 1, I made my dad watch it
and when Jar Jar first came on, he looked to me and said "do you know what
that guy is sayin', cuz I sure don't..." Subtitles would have been useful on
that big Gungun guy as well...

I wasn't really directing that at you, Nick, but just as a sort of general comment. Personally, I'm a subtitles man. I LIKED hearing all the alien languages in the original trilogy. ~M (24 years ago, 7-Aug-00, to lugnet.starwars)
