What is what in #German? Star Wars x 10

Ha! Love it! A little late for #starwarsday but great none the less.

Movies are usually dubbed in Germany and play in the dubbed version only at cinemas (unless it’s a special screening or a foreign language theatre). But apart from just translating film dialogues etc., e.g. names are often totally “germanized”. Sometimes it’s a direct translation from the original language, sometimes a complete new term / word was made up. So every once in a while, I wanna talk about very big movies/books and tell you: what is what in the German translation :)

And since yesterday was Star Wars day, it’s an appropriate first topic. Happy Belated Star Wars Day! ;)

1. Star Wars = Krieg der Sterne
2. Jedi Knight = der Jedi-Ritter
3. The Force = die Macht
4. Attack of the Clones = Angriff der Klonkrieger
5. The Phantom Menace = Die Dunkle Bedrohung
6. The Empire strikes back = Das Imperium schlägt zurück
7. The Revenge of the Sith = Die Rache der Sith
8. Droids = Droiden
9. Lightsaber = das Lichtschwert
10. I am your father! = Ich bin dein Vater!

Here’s a link to the famous scene in German.
