Which Edits Give Jar Jar and the Neimoidians Subtitles?

Author

I think it’s a great idea to have Jar Jar and the Neimoidians speak and alien language and give them subtitles. It’s kind of the only way to have an adult version of the prequels. The only edits I know that do this are…

  • The Anti-Cheese Edits - Although these edits are not 1024p HD and are somewhat dated as far as editing ideas from the last several years.
  • Phase3’s Edits - Which are a work in progress.

Any others?

I would love to see the robots given an alien language (they are robots for the Neimoidians, right?)

I’m planning on it for my Prequels. But my project has expanded so much in scope from what I originally envisioned that I’ve really only just started.

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.
