i had watched star wars series but it lost the attraction after episode 3. You can imagine my shock when i heard those gikuyu words in a theatre in sydney. i went out and bought the disc immediately. Recently i re watched and googled it and your page was top. George Lucas, being a Grand Magus must know something about the kikuyu that we dont…………Never believe in coincidences!!!

I can remember some dude foaming at the mouth after watching star wars on that very issue. Looks like Kikuyu has joined exotic movie languages like Elven and Klingon!

Wow – really interesting! I knew that they had borrowed sounds and elements from other languages to make up alien languages in the Star Wars films, but it seems that they have borrowed other languages completely.

I have never watched a star wars movie, but this has really piqued my interest. It also must be sai, it made my day. Mama JunkYard Says: Dude, those Star Wars films are not great. For a fee I would sell Mich's collection :)

I remember being in a movie theatre in the depths of Hounslow, Middlesex, when I heard the Gikuyu words. I nearly jumped off my seat and had an attack of the giggles. I got very strange looks from the audience - none who spoke and understood Gikuyu obviously :-) Mama JunkYard Says: They must have thought you were an alien pia
