Talk like George?

Customikey · Apr 18, 2006

Anyone ever notice that The Father of Star Wars pronounces everything differently from everyone else?

Some examples:

Naboo becomes NAYboo.
Hoth becomes HOAth
Gungans become GOOngans

What does this mean for the faithful? If everything George hath wrought is pure because it is George, does this mean we should start talking like this? Do some of you already pronounce like George?

Meesa try not to say Gungans...ever.

Well so far George being wrong is winning 100% to 0... but I guess its still early yet; only 2 responders :monkey3

Count Doughkoo? Why wasn't it pronounced like that in the films? I know, because thats not how it is spelled and he doesn't know how to pronounce his own characters and creations! I wouldn't be surprised if Palpatine was PalpTane. :emperor

Great topic, wtf is a lazer sword? :maul Also I lose it everytime Gen. Dodonna says "LEE-ah". I'll let Lando slide on Han (like can) because he's Lando. Oh god now I am one of those fans bitching about SW on the internets. I guess it was inevitable. :chew

I pronounce it Naboo, Gungans, and Hoth.

I put the accent on the boo. And as to how the correct pronunciation...I think the Queen can pronounce her own planets name...what does an earthling like Lucas know?

Talk like George? Who cares! I'd rather get paid like him.

noelleon69 · Apr 19, 2006

hmm... it might not be him not knowing how to pronounce characters he invented but, he has a speech impairment? does he talks like that in general?

I've always been amused that he calls lightsabers "laser swords".

And worse yet he had little "Ani" call it a "laser sword" in Episode I. YIPPEEEEEEE!!!

If this is the guy that "created" everything, then he must be right..

Do you talk like GL?

Yes, I love the Goongans from Nayboo!

No, Georgie mis-pronounces his own creations.
