Can we take a japanese track for the Niemodians and modulate it (or whatever) to sound like the Duros in the cantina? I think that would provide a nice bit of (small) continuity.

The reversed language track was something that always bothered me about people's edits of the prequels too. I think in Return of the Jedi they talked about how they first wanted to reverse an African tribal language for the ewoks, which of course sounds lame. Failing that, they simply reordered the syllables to create an incoherent speech pattern we all know as the ewok language. I'm actually not sure, it might just be my own great idea. The only problem is the background music and ambience that--whether you modulate it, reorder it, or reverse it--will show up under the Neimodian dialogue you create. This was something I ran into when I tried to re-edit the prequels.
