star wars: oona goota solo?

 


I've noticed that transcriptions I've seen of the conversation between Han Solo and Greedo are not quite right - some of the translations are phonetically off, not quite accurate. Below is a slightly revised version of the transcription from Kevin J. Anderson's book Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina, revised with a few corrections I've made. (2016)



A transcript of the conversation between Greedo and Han Solo:


"Oonta goota, Solo?"      Going somewhere, Solo?
 

"Yes, Greedo, as a matter of fact I was just going to
 see your boss. Tell Jabba that I've got his money."
 

"Somepeetchalay. Vara trahm ne tach vakee cheetha. Jabba wanin cheeco-wa rush anye katanye wanaruska, heh heh heh. Chas kin yanee ke chusoo."      It's too late, you should have paid him when you had the chance. Jabba's put a price on your head so large every bounty hunter in the galaxy will be looking for you. I'm lucky I found you first.
"Yeah, but this time I've got the money."
 

"Enjaya kul a intekun kuthuow."      If you give it to me, I might forget I found you.
 

"I don't have it with me. Tell Jabba--"
 

"Tens hikikne. Hoko ruya pulyana oolwan spa steeka gush shuku ponoma three pe."      Jabba's through with you. He has no time for smugglers who drop their shipments at the first sign of an Imperial cruiser.
 
"Even I get boarded sometimes. Do you think I had a choice?"
 

"Tlok Jabba. Boopa goompah-kne et an anpaw."      You can tell that to Jabba. He may only take your ship.
 
"Over my dead body."
 

"Ukle nyuma. cheskopokuta klees ka tlanko ... ya oska."      That's the idea. I've been looking forward to this for a long time.
 
"Yes, I'll bet you have."

"Sorry about the mess."
