I've got nothing against subtitles on non-English language movies when there's no action but films like Star Wars shouldn't be overly subtitled, otherwise you can't see the worlds for the reading.
How do you think people who don't come from english-speaking countries watch Star Wars?
Yes, with subtitles.
We learned to read fast you see.
I agree with Darth Bo and theslime, subtitles are no problem whatsoever for most people with the ability to read. And it's not as if action scenes have so much dialogue anyway, so that's very rarely an issue.
While it's possibly the poorest film in the series, Star Trek V (and VI to some extent) does do alien languages really well. Whenever members of a species are seen talking among themselves, they speak their own language and we read the translation. I think that's much, much smarter, classier even.
