Okay, SW is on HBO right now, meaning it's also on the Spanish HBO. I just watched a bit of it (the first part of the Mos Eisley sequence, up to Greedo).
Some funny stuff I observed:
My Spanish is rusty, but some of the literal translations of what they're saying is fucking hilarious.
"She's fast enough for you, grandfather."
"Let's just say we'd like to avoid any Imperial molestation."
Evazan was classic. First, instead of "You'll be dead," he said what sounded like, "He'll kill you." Best of all, the Spanish actor didn't sound quite like Evazan, but the moaning after he's sliced up was definitely the English-language actor. Meaning he had two very different voices.
Obi-Wan talked like Mr Smooth. He was like Ricardo Fucking Montalban. If the Sandtroopers were chicks, he could've totally had them right there in the landspeeder.
All the alien voices were the same. Greedo was the real kicker. As with the other aliens, it was the original dialogue and voice. "Oona goota Solo?"
But you'll never guess what the subtitles said. "Going somewhere, Solo?" There was no Spanish anywhere to translate what he was saying. What the fuck good will that do anyone in Spain?

Crap. Forgot about that. I was going to watch it. Maybe the DVDs have the Spanish audio.
Re: Star Wars in Spanish
The french CBC used to show the OT in French a lot.
Han was called "Yan" and the "Luc... JE suis ton pere" bit was funny enough to quote to this day
"NON....... CA C'EST IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!"

Re: Star Wars in Spanish
this is based on french courses from too long ago and babelfish, but i think this is a pretty good french translation of a hallmark SW quote:

Oh, Jesus . . .
Try to pronounce the name of the Trade Federation droid control ship and not have it sound ridiculous. I can only assume it was named by the same guy who decided to call the music "Jizz."
Shit. I can't think of a good signature.

Makes sense. If you Saak'ak, you're bound to have Jizz.
Re: Oh, Jesus . . .
well it IS a "lucrehulk" class ship....
I can't even attempt to pronounce 99% of the EU names. I can't even say "padme" aloud especially not the way it is supposed to be pronounced, it's just too silly

Padmé is an actual word; in Sanskrit, it means "lotus flower."
For those running late, I was amused/annoyed that the name of the ship is essentially "Suck Cock."
