Yeah, I liked that one too... but it kinda falls outside the realm of "modern" vernacular... Laughing

Of all the Sci-Fi curse words, I like Frack. Everyone knows exactly what word it replaces, and I like the ballsyness of the show to use it as a way around the censors!

Actually, Han yells back "Then I'll see you in hell!" to the deck officer you told him that.

But despite the fact that we use hell as a swear, Han still isn't swearing when he says it. He's telling the deck officer where he figures both of them are going to end up when they die.

And I read somewhere that the in-universe explanation for that phrase is that "Hell" is a semi-mythic planet. Agh! I hate those explanations....

Again, it is a big universe that includes things like death and slavery. So with things like that, I don't see how swearing in our form is un-Star Warsy or anything. It is like saying there are no tittie bars in the Star Wars universe. If GL can show killing kiddie Jedis and approve of slavery, then our characters can use bad words and go to intergalactic strip clubs Very Happy

By the way, I am only kidding.

No, there are titty bars in Star Wars. It's called Twi'lek dancing girls.....Jabba had a private one.

I can't remember if she was topless or not. I'll have to rewatch it. There is nudity in star wars for sure though...After all, we saw Jabba in his birthday suit the whole time. Yuck! Shocked Confused GL sure has wierd fantasies...

Oola wasn't topless. In fact I'd have to say Leia was closer to being topless in Jabba's court than Oola was. Though Oola did wear a mesh top.

I know she isn't topless on screen, but it's like Luke in the Bacta tank - he should be naked, but it's a movie and Lukas has censors and ratings to worry about.

Actually, Oola WAS closer to being topless than Leia. If you watch it frame by frame when Jabba is about to toss Oola to the rancor, and she's tugging at her chains, there is a moment where she slips out of her costume, showing some definite twi'lek booby.

Star Wars IS a filthy galaxy, just check out what some people were doing while the Battle of Endor raged on around them:

I'd say you can swear all you want....

Yes, I was going to mention the bare breast, but Gry Sarth really, really beat me to it.

Thanks man, I owe you.

And it was never a frame by frame stopping thing to find it, it's there for a good second, 24 frames... sometimes I feel like I am the only one who pays attention when people say I am crazy for thinking I saw a green boob.

::Takes a look at both of the pictures after ranting.::

Holy poodoo... Han coped a feel during a serious situation like that? He IS a scoundrel.

Now that is jsut a s*** explanation. In a galaxy, there are going to be a large amoutn opf religions, and a large percentage of those are going to have SOME sort of idea about a heaven or hell. I mean, on earthy, we havge a handful of different hells from different religions, and we are only one planet! So to think that they can't have the phylosiphy of 'hell' is the SW universe is complete s***.

Besides, a lot of swear words you hear in star wars.... they may or may not be in different languages than just english... woops I mean basic. I enjoy swearing in languages other than english, and when you translate it into english it might not seem like a big bad word, but in the native speaking place of that word, it could cause you to get your @$$ kicked (Putz and Shmuk for yiddish, Scatta for greek, etc.). So they could be taking up other langauges swear words for flair, which does not mean words like f***, s***, b****, @$$, g********, y***, and j**-r****ed-l*****ing-o***s don't exist. Oh well, run it as you wish, but it seems a bit odd to argue what words do and do not exist in the SW universe.

*smacks anikan again for the angels quote*

Oh, and bonus points to the ones that can figure out the swear words after '@$$' are.
