Actually he says: "Well, then I'll see you in hell." And I guess it's just a word for a bad place in the afterlife. It's sounds better than Hades or Seth's lair.

Well, none of them are speaking English, are they? In a Distant Galaxy, and so on? It's all 'translated'. That's a translation of whatever word they would actually use.

HONESTLY, I was REALLY going to post about that very line today. I was going to list the funny things that you hear if you listen, can only remember one now: "If we can't get that shield repaired, we'll be sitting ducks" I'd love to see the ducks of Star Wars, reckon they'd look like ducks, or would they be huge, malformed, carnivorous beasts? QUUUAAACCCKKKK!!!

I don't think a substitute for hell would have been appropriate for that scene. If George had used another word we had never heard of it probably wouldn't have had the impact that he wanted it to have in that scene. And that would be a word that someone like Han would use anyway.

It's the infrequent inclusion of lines like "you look strong enough to pull the ears off a Gundark" that add the best comic value. If the films were littered with lines which make no sense to us, they wouldn't be as entertaining to watch. Besides, how many viewings did it take people to notice the use of the word 'Hell'? As for swearing, I'm sure that "E Chuta!" is the closest we'll get, although when we first got introduced to Yoda, I just KNEW that R2 was mumbling some obsenities.

Well, many people say "blast," which I think is their way to say da*n.

You're right 212...Luke says "blast it" in terms of swearing.

I think Han says, "Well then I'll see you in Hell" because it is something that the audience can easily relate to. Almost everyone has heard that saying before.

If they wanted to be really anally retentive, they could have had the whole dialogue in a different language because English didn't exist, but one has to draw the line between unbelievably like Earth:now and stupidly and unenjoyably alien. They allowed for English dialogue, with the odd Earth phrase thrown in to relate to the audience. It couldn't have worked better if you ask me.

For 'x', substitute any letter in whatever language they use which is cross-shaped.

I think you need to be a little bit creative in your mind here. The text was done basically to save them having to make up loads of techno-talk like they do in Star Trek.

God, just HOW has that become WORSE lately? It's almost as if the ST writers have become self-satirical...
