In this dorky yet eerily beautiful clip, the USS Voyager encounters the Millennium Falcon in fluidic space, as two remote controlled spaceship models gracefully circle each other at the bottom of a swimming pool.
What I want to know is, if Voyager contacts the Falcon, will Voyager's universal translator actually translate what Chewbacca says, so it sounds like he's speaking Federation Standard English? (Something tells me that Chewbacca isn't a great conversationalist. Most of his dialogue in the original trilogy probably consists of variations on the phrase, "Uh-oh! This is scary! Let's get outta here!" Plus the occasional, "Oh no, something just exploded!")

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?
Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
