Star Wars and HELL

I've noticed that Han Solo has said 'hell' in the films....in various forms like...'go to hell' .....or 'what the hell?'
but I was thinking...how would any of them know of 'hell'? they're in a galaxy very far away a long time ago, and certainly hell is not part of their culture or religion. or is this merely a mistake of lucas?

The best way to deal with this is to not think about it. Or else you start thinking of other things.

Just an example:
-Why do ships make noise in space?

Just one of those things that we should just accept and not question.

Good point....and usually I'm not one to analyze things to death, but that question came to mind today messed

Well, almost all religions and cultures have their own version of heaven and hell. So when we watches the movie he just says hell, instead of saying whatever hell would be called over there. If he had said "Go to fillifjonka" no one would have understood anything before GL would tell us that that was their version of hell, so to save time he just called it hell.

Absolutely- that is the nerdy answer. None of them are talking English, it is all 'translated' for us. So Hell is a translation as well.

Or 'Hyperspace ain't like dusting crops kid'...you'd think crop dusting wouldn't still be an argricultural technique in such an advanced civilization.

...and shit to poodoo...

(Does anyone else think Obi-Wan should have said "shit" instead of "not good" in AOTC during the Kamino Jango fight? Why could Indiana Jones say it on the bridge in Temple of Doom, and not Obi? It would be nice to see the -arguably- most human and humorous of all Jedi give a little curse...)

Guys, I think you are forgetting the biggest one of all... Millenium FALCON!!! I know this means nothing, but in KOTOR, the Ebon HAWK.

I think it is just their way of helping us relate to it better. I mean, if they used all these words we couldn't figure out what they meant, then we would feel nothing when we watched the movies. It's like them all speaking English... it wouldn't REALLY be true, but it helps us to relate to the character and emotion.

And BTW, I think it is funny in AOTC when Obiwan says, "Oh, not good!" Just the way he said it (Ewan McGregor is brilliant) and just the way he should be really REALLY worried, he takes it calmly. To me, that is one of the best lines in the movie... maybe top 10 in the saga.

Just my thoughts...

Just to add to the old thread... in the Jedi vs. Sith comics they mention a lot of common Earth animals. I remember vultures...

Also, the Sith use Buzzard ships in the Jedi vs. Sith comics...

Obviously there are going to be human references. The nerdy answer is: it's only a translation for us. Ducks aren't really ducks.
