Yeah, this would have been a great place for Star Wars’ first f-bomb. Too bad Disney chickened out, but also not really surprising.
Puts on nerd hat But would they even have the same curse word in a galaxy far far away?
To be fair, we don’t know what the Jawas were really saying.
Or R2D2, for that matter.
Well, they have have words like “the” and “Empire”, so I don’t see why not.
It wouldn’t literally be the word “fuck,” because the characters aren’t actually speaking English, they’re speaking some space language that’s rendered as English for Earth audiences. But they’d definitely have curse words, and they’d have a curse word that’s roughly equivalent in strength and social acceptance to “fuck,” even if the word they used doesn’t literally translate to “sexual intercourse.” But, also, sexual and scatological terms being used as curses is, I think, kind of universal to real human societies, so it seems likely that they’d be using similar basis for insults in Star Wars.
So, yeah, Star Wars fucks. Absolutely.
Little known fact: R2D2 speaks as well as C3P0 does, but every word is so foul that the Galactic censors bleep every single one.
/not really
NOOOOOOOOOOOO
That’s literally Chopper from the Rebels cartoon.
Hey it’s canon that R2 swears. C3P0 told him to watch his language.
I’m slightly surprised that there haven’t been more aliens, but there weren’t many in Rogue One either.
Canonically, it’s a Human Empire that just tolerates the non-humans in its midst. True of the Republic before, and the various incarnations of both going deeply back into millennia of history.
Also, makeup and sfx budgets have to be kept in check.
Not just there. As this article explains:
“ In the original script for “A New Hope,” which was revealed on Twitter in 2016 by original Chewbacca actor, the late Peter Mayhew, R2-D2 spoke in “a flurry of electronic swearing,” which is pretty great.”
Someone cut together a montage to go with Nemik’s Rebel manifesto:
When he ends the manifesto with “Try,” I can not have been the only person to immediately talk back to the screen with, “Do. Or do not. There is no try.”
Please tell me I’m not the only one, anyway.
No, you aren’t.
A little fanwank, perhaps-but we’re told in ROTJ that Death Star 1 is behind schedule. Andor’s prison break shuts that place down for months. Could one have contributed to the other? And I love the idea that the Death Star and Andor are so interwoven. They both created and destroyed each other.
That was the second death star in ROTJ; during Andor they were building the first.
I think he meant to say ROTS, the third prequel.
No, I meant ROTJ. I had the timeline all messed up in my enthusiasm. 
Anyone else happen to catch the Nicholas Britell interview on CBS Sunday Morning? Mr. Britell composed the music for the series. He pointed out that the introduction music is different at the beginning of each episode, as he tried to capture the mood or theme of each episode.
Here’s the interview:
