Another great job !
The french release will too be release… one day…

Looking forward to it. La Guerre des Étoiles… 😃

PS: interestingly, both the German and the French titles put the “Wars” from “Star Wars” into singular form (Krieg/Guerre), and the “Star” into plural (Sterne/Étoiles). 😃

I think it’s just because it translated better. “Star Wars” while it does translate directly, doesn’t grammatically make as much sense (at least in French. I don’t know much German) as “the war of stars”

I actually introduced my 60 something year old high school French teacher who I still keep in contact with to Star Wars using the despecialized edition 2.5 with project threepio French subtitles. Somehow she had never seen Star Wars. Probably because she’s an old French woman who is interested in like historical dramas and such. But she ended up really enjoying it. She instantly got the connection between the empire and the nazis. She more than once referred to Tarkin as “space hitler”.
