How come the robots speak their own language what is the point of this? Every movie the robots go beep boop bop beep bop boop and the humans respond in English. Why?
Because fuck Lucas that's why
>>64364637
Why is Rey the only human to understand them?
>>64364857
>the only human
wrong
i never quite understood if people could understand what R2 says.
I mean it's pretty clear in TFA that Rey does understand it, but in the OT i'm never sure.
I feel like the purpose of C-3PO always hanging around with R2 was because he can translate what R2 says
>>64364972
i mean Rey understands what BB-8 says but i'm guessing it's the same "language" that R2
>>64364972
Maybe it's like binary
I dunno but it never made sense. I imagine wookiepedia has a 20 paragraph in depth answer for us. Can someone find it?
>>64364972
Why didn't they just take C-3P0 apart and install the language module into R2?
As I understand it, over time they have become so interconnected with the master computer on their planet that their language, their thought patterns have become as close to binary as it's possible for organic beings.
>>64365033
Yeah I looked it up, and turns out it's budget restraints. The language modules are expensive, and service droids like R2 are damaged frequently, so it's more economical to make separate droids like C-3P0, which aren't used in the field much.
>>64365033
I found this
>All droids speak and understand Binary - the language R2 uses.
>In general, the tones used can convey much of the meaning. Translators like C-3P0 have to translate for most people, though people who have spent a lot of time around droids can learn at least a little of what different sounds/phrases mean - just watching the trilogy, most people can figure out 'yes' and 'no'.
>Luke especially spends a lot of time with R2, and has his X-Wing's computer terminal for R2 to 'speak' through - accompanied by the verbalizations he would make. Luke certainly has at least a basic understanding of the language.
R2 is
1)capable of understanding human speech, which means he knows how words and sentences work
2)capable of playing back human speech because he did so with Leia's message.
So how couldn't he just talk instead of beeping?
>>64365170
>So how couldn't he just talk instead of beeping?
maybe he's got shit ram
How come Rey has a British accent? Your accent is derived from where you live and speak to but from what it shows in the movie she never was exposed to that accent and Luke has an American accent so wtf.
>>64365304
Maybe she was raised by old British speaking people who are now dead
>>64365170
You can have a video playback program and a speech recognition program on your computer right now without having text to speech.
Current tts is shit, and Space tts is likely very expensive and specialized. Probably needs special hardware.
>>64365170
Binary is faster. To speak in human speech/other, the droids would have to figure out what to say in binary (the base language of droids), than covert it to whatever speech, saving that somewhat as binary, and then finally outputting.
>>64365348
>British speaking
America plz
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-hFh35U3go
Reminder that in a deleted scene of Episode III Anakin literally speaks robot
>>64365304
american accents are developed just like british accents are
no one fucking just naturally speaks like an american you braindead idiot
>>64365348
Then why don't we see anyone with a droid accent?
>>64364637
Logical reason: It's more efficient
Real reason: It's cute
>>64365169
That's bullshit, binary would sound like Morse code but R2 has a lot more sounds than just 0 and 1.
>>64364637
It's cute
>>64365502
>cute
How do we kill the moeshit epidemic killing our cinema?
>>64365348
>British Accent
it was one of the few things they fucked up in the new movie
in the empire strikes back they use it for laughs. r2d2 goes "beep boop" in like 0.5 seconds and then c3po says a really long reply to something complex that r2d2 is implied to have said, which means the reason they have short bursts of beeps is to compress the information and make communication more effective, but it would make it literally impossible for any non electronic life form to understand
>>64365595
>but it would make it literally impossible for any non electronic life form to understand
Except Rey.
>>64365628
>non electronic
Because it's cute.
>>64365440
>Droid accent
Like people who say "LOL" out loud unironicallyor "senpai"
>>64365414
These deleted scenes are god awful
>>64365699
?
Senpai is a normal Japanese word.
>>64365711
Someone needs to make a deleted scenes youtube video and include all the prequels.
>>64365628
It's Marey Sue for you anon
>>64365760
precisely.
>>64365414
What in the fuck? Christ.
>>64365760
Meant to write f a m but the wordfilter caught me.
(even alt+0173 didn't save me)
>>64364857
anakin.
>>64365628
And Luke you fucking idiot.
>>64366015
fa͏m fa͏m
>>64365544
It isn't real binary. It's a made up droid language coincidentally called Binary
>>64366087
>clearly uses his x-wing to translate
Hello reddit, next time watch The movie
>>64365414
please post time. I cant put myself watching that shit.
>>64364857
Obi Wan
Anakin
Luke
>>64364637
because is a film you fucking faggot
>>64366211
It's literally the first scene
>>64366256
there is too much cringe happening. its like 10 seconds in. I just cant watch it. it hurts
>>64366211
it's the first scene you dummy
>>64366245
>film
It's a demi-flick at best, fa͏m.
>>64365057
BECAUSE IT'S BETTER FOR THE FUCKING MOVIE, FUCK
>>64366245
>film
It's a flick you piece of shit.
>>64365057
Then how would C-3P0 speak.
The real question is why the fuck all robots weren't made to speak like C3P0. I guess that's pretty much what OP's asking though.
>>64366186
So why don't they just install one of those translators into the droids?
>>64366377
>Then how would C-3P0 speak.
Who cares?
>>64366377
c 3po is literally designated as an interpreter in the movies. Other robots are for simple tasks.
>>64366377
Kill yourself
>>64366398
Because they're expensive
>>64366490
6 year old slaves can get their hands on them.
>>64366507
He probably shanked a nigga to get it
Life on Tatooine is ruff
>>64366443
R2 is sentient though (I assume), why would they make a robot that performs a simple task sentient
>>64366299
>>64366366
>le flick, le film, le movie
get over it fags
STOP WITH THE FLICK SHIT
>>64366553
astromech droids don't just do "simple tasks" and because r2 never gets memory wipes, he developed a "personality"
>>64366579
faggot
>>64366559
There is a difference you utter piece of human shit. Just end it you utterly retarded and can't function as a human.
>>64366377
>>64364637
R2 is an astromech droid, they're meant to be co-pilots on ships and sometimes repair stuff.
Maybe it's just a cost-saving thing.They're meant to talk to other droids, like R2 did with that group of others he was with on Queen Amidala's ship, so beep boop is more efficient.
>>64366559
For a second I thought you were speaking french
Confused me t b h
>>64364637
Robots are weird, especially astromechs.
It's been shown that the more you stay around a single astromech who isn't constantly memwiped to prevent it from developing a personality, you begin to understand it. And by that I mean you can start to tell what the tone of it's beep imply.
>>64366579
Seriously, it's CLEARLY a motion picture.
>>64366579
You are aa faggot.
>>64366657
>>64366634
>ywn have a best bud astromech to go on adventures or kill time with while travelling in hyperspace
just drag me behind a car on the highway already
>>64365304
The junk dealer (Unkar Plutt) raised her (shittily), and he was played by Simon Pegg.
>>64364857
She grew up surrounded by them of course she'll understand what they say
Also I think it adds a little personality to the movies to have chewie and robots go "hurrrduuhrrrr" and humans responding like "yeah I understand your point"
>>64364637
Star wars is for kids you dummy.
>>64366652
>fire ze missiles
>>64365304
>>64365348
The Core Regions and royalty from human planets often speak a British accent, frontier humans and scoundrels speak Murrican, and Mandalorians are Ozzies.
>>64367046
Also the sand niggers were thieves who spoke a retarded language its just like earth.
>>64367357
>>64367046
World building. You have droids that speak english in PT and what do you got? Irritating droids that say quirky lines.
>>64367576
>world building
>the death star destroys worlds
It's like pottery.
>>64367576
>this plinkettdrone literally unironically dislikes the best comedy relief of the entire franchise
WOW
