Yeah, I thought that was quite intriguing as well, finally, something
other than perfect English, slightly rearranged English ("when 900 years
old you reach, look as good you will not") or completely unrelated alien
tongue.  It would've been interesting if there were more *dialects* of
English shown in the movies.

On a Star Wars-related conlang note, I've often considered "Yodaic",
based on a reconstruction of what Yoda's native language must be like
from his use of English.
