I would check out the redubbed Jar Jar and Neimodians in English. I think it mostly works. It is much more convenient than heavy use of subtitles.
I don’t like it. He sounds Australian or something.
Speaking in an alien language definitely feels more Star Warsy to me. Think of all the characters in the OT that either had subtitles or had to be translated for:
- Greedo - Subtitles
- The guy that picks on Luke - his friend translates
- Chewbacca - Han has conversations / translates
- Tusken Raiders - no translation
- R2-D2 - C3-P0 translates
- Jawas - Owen has conversations / translates
- Jabba the Hutt - Subtitles
- Princess Leia speaking Ubese in Jabba’s palace - C3-P0 translates
- Ewoks - C3-P0 translates
So Greedo and Jabba definitely have subtitles and there are numerous other characters that speak an alien language - most get translation but some don’t. Since there is no translator in TPM subtitles (like Greedo or Jabba) would be the only way to go for them to speak in an alien language.
