Dubbing Yoda into German

How do they do it?

I've come to realize that I speak German like Yoda speaks English; my word-order sucks.

This brings up an interesting question. When Star Wars movies are dubbed into German, how do they translate Yoda? Does he still have bad grammar?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Yes, I remember catching a bit on TV once and he was speaking weird word order still.

Well maybe if they don't have a solution for that, you might be able to dub Yoda into German...

My girlfriends grandmother is actually the person who dubs the Yoda voice in German. Well, maybe she's not, but she sounds weird anyway.

I personally think (backed up with no facts. fact) that Yoda in German probably just speaks German words but with English grammar and word order.

The real question is - why does anyone care? Star Wars should NEVER be watched in German. It should never have even been translated to German. Do N-Sync try and do Beethoven? No. Its like getting the Wok Man chef to try and cook fine french cuisine. Effing ridiculous.

Stark bin ich mit Der Macht. Hmmmm.

I totally agree that it shouldn't be watched in anything but English, BUT, the question as to how it is done has perplexed me. I really wonder about such things.

I am happy to see that my tax dollars/euros spent on NASA and now the German Space Agency are being put to such good use... smile.gif I suppose one should ask every once in awhile which mysteries of the universe you are actually solving! Surely trying to figure out how that pansy ass Will Crusher on Star Trek TNG was able to score so often would be more useful reasearch!

some quotes for you:
"Du suchst jemandem, gefunden hast du jemandem, würde ich sagen. hmmm"

"ja helfen dass kann ich, ja, hmmm"

"zu alt er ist"

"überzeugt bis du davon"

"vergessen musst du das, was fruher du gelernt"

sorry for an spelling errors.

all from "Das Imperium Schlägt Zurück"

Already been solved. Just picture a non-Lipschitzian manifold in n-space and you'll have your answer smile.gif
