I’m looking for the input on a decision. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m on a mission to add the alien into star wars rebels through things such as making Alien’s speak their own language. I’m currently working on scenes with Rukh and thought initially to make him speak entirely in Honoghr. What does that sound like? I’ve got no idea but I was going to use the Dosh (Trandoshan language) as a place to start and see what I could come up with. As I researched, I found out that the Noghri can speak basic quite effectively.

So, I came up with an idea. What if sometimes Rukh speaks basic, and other times he speaks Honoghr. I’m not too sure I can connivingly pull this off yet but I thought I’d put feelers out there for this idea before I try to make it happen.

If I went with this idea, I’d obviously put some rules in that determine when he uses which language. I’m thinking at this stage it could be a respect thing. I.e., if he respects you, he’ll use your language. If not, you have to understand him.

Secondly, do you think this change would be too jarring for audiences when watching?

Love to get some feedback on this!
