Now, I'm in a Star Wars association here, in "Theed" where I live, and I have to make my custome. And I have a lot of books to read and translate-it's the better way to learn vocabulary and understand every single nuance. Costume- nice! That's always cool! Enjoy it! (not like I need to tell you!) And the translating thing must make things a little hard to keep up huh? _________________ -Bring on your thousands, one at a time or all in a rush. I don't give a damn.

I never thought about having a costume before, but then I went to the hospital to visit children last Christmas. It was my best experience as fan by far. Children's wide eyes, the look in their faces, their pure joy. Well it's... it had no price. They didn't care ever the little toys we gave them. They only wanted to take our lightsabers and fight the bad guys. You know, it made me feel proud of being a fan. Making them forget where they were and why... It was magic. Ooops, I'm being a littel sentimental, sorry. But a child's smile is the best in the world and being able to make ill children to smile can't be compared with any other experience, IMO. illogicalRogue2 wrote: And the translating thing must make things a little hard to keep up huh? Well, I usually read the book or comic first, so I got the overall story. Then I translated to undertand little details. But it's a big work, because there are a lot of things don't have an "official" translation. And what has been translated officially... Well, it's better if we don't talk about it.

I'm curious, because I only know smatterings of several other languages. Not enough to read an entire book, though. _________________ I am a Star Wars fan. That doesn't mean that I hate or love Jar Jar. That doesn't mean I hate or love Lucas, or agree or disagree 100% with him. That doesn't mean I prefer the PT over the OT, or vice versa. That doesn't mean I hate the EU, or even love all of it. These are not prerequisites. Being a man is not a prerequisite. Being a geek is not a prerequisite. The only prerequisite is that I love something about Star Wars. I am a Star Wars fan.

Nedara Knight Joined: 08 Apr 2011 Posts: 396 The best? They haven't been even the worst. I'm not talking about missing pages-that happened more than once-but simple mistakes than a child wouldn't make. I'll give you an example. In Milleniun Falcon cover it's said Jacen was Han's and Leia's... BROTHER!

Mara Jade Skywalker Master Joined: 15 Feb 2008 Posts: 5359 Location: Beyond Shadows Spain! Well that's awesome. Come to think of it, I want to say Flyboy is from Spain. But he hasn't been around in a long while... I'm absolutely shocked that the translations for Spanish wouldn't be better, though.

Nedara Knight Joined: 08 Apr 2011 Posts: 396 I just don't read Star Wars in Spanish any more. I buy the novels in English and then, I translated them. It's the only way to have something coherent. Another little proof. And this one is even worse. In The Clone Wars: Espacio Salvaje (TCW: Wild Space) Palpatine was a former Senator woman.

Mara Jade Skywalker Master Joined: 15 Feb 2008 Posts: 5359 Location: Beyond Shadows On the one hand it's funny. But on the other hand it's distressing! You shouldn't have to read them in English to understand them. Somebody should be doing better translating. Star Wars in an international market, after all. I dunno...now I'm curious to see who handles such matters. _________________ "It's not about the legacy you leave, it's about the life you live." ~Mara Jade Skywalker
