Very cool!
I have one question: in Star Wars, is Chewie called Chico in the French track? No, seriously.

(Han was also called Yan, and C3PO was Z6PO. They'd say it like cess/cease-pay-oh. The Falcon was also apparently called the Condor. Darth Vader was Dark Vador. R2D2 was D2R2 at times. Lots of references here: http://www.3dchips-fr.com/forum/showthread.php?threadid=100174)
See, when I was growing up, I didn't have a VCR until the early 90s, and so I would watch the trilogy on TV whenever they came on, whether it was in English or in French, on some stations from Quebec. Whenever they played Star Wars in French, Chewie was called Chico (he was called Chewie in Empire and Jedi) I figure that since they're using a very old mono French track for the "bonus" disc, maybe he's called Chico in it and maybe it was the mono track I heard on Tv all those years ago.
