I think the appearance of Jar Jar Binks should be enough to cause rioting (not to mention vomiting) in any language.

Maybe he was worried about how subtleties subtitles would appear in 3-D.

"Edlund has questioned if director George Lucas is just trying to earn more money..."

To borrow from the Naked Gun series, "Star Wars 3D-Beating a Dead Horse".

“It fills me with disgust,” wrote daily newspaper Aftonbladet’s Magnus Edlund.
As opposed to government?
Murder?
Rose Nylon?

"Aftonbladet’s Magnus Edlund" WNBAGNFARB, but it could work for an underwear label.

Since the language spoken in the movies is theoretically Galactic Basic, it can be translated into Swedish as justifiably as English. The big question is whether they will translate the other languages in the films into Swedish, including the Quechua and Finnish.

But the aliens sound so much more convincing in English!

Ralph ... I've heard it said that most of the "other" Scandinavians do NOT consider "Finnish" to actually be a language (it's considerably different than the rest of 'em, roots out of eastern Asia, IIRC?) ... merely sayin' ...
