I should add for Tamil, that in addition to the “dub everything with a voice, and then some” I already remarked on, there’s also the breathing, gasping, humming, and grunting added to every character. It used to be Vader and Admiral Ackbar were the only heavy breathers in the Star Wars universe, now everyone gets a chance. Also, while both the Hindi and Tamil dubs use recognizably English phrases in their dubs (that’s separate from the lines that didn’t get translated, it’s the Hindi/Tamil voice actor saying an English phrase), the Tamil dub definitely amuses me with the sort of flippant rudeness that I’d use with friends. When Luke’s pissed that he crashed in a swamp, and R2 keeps chattering at him afterward, he tells R2 to “shut up”. When Leia kisses Luke in the sick bay, Han doesn’t tell Luke “Take it easy”, he says “I hate you.” Had to listen a few times to make sure, but there it was. And really, it works.
