[Tlhingan-hol] A New Hope

[Felix Malmenbeck]

Tried searching for "qIb Hopqu'Daq", and found this: http://vulqangan.tripod.com/html/kl-sw1.htm
Haven't scrutinized it top closely, but it seems quite good.
I rather like the title «nuH chu'». It could be referring to the Death Star or to Luke, while alluding to the prover  «reH nuHmey tu'lu'» (or however that goes).

Subject: [Tlhingan-hol] A New Hope

I was contacted by someone who's wanting to get a tattoo in Klingon.

They're wanting the opening text from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope.


A Long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away..
Rebel spaceships, striking from a hidden base, have won their first
victory against the evil Galactic Empire. During the battle, Rebel
spies managed to steal secret plans to the Empire’s ultimate weapon,
the DEATH STAR, an armored space station with enough power to destroy
an entire planet. Pursued by the Empire’s sinister agents, Princess
Leia races home aboard her starship, custodian of the stolen plans
that can save her people and restore freedom to the galaxy….


IIRC, this has been done before, but I can't seem to locate a copy.


He also sent along what he managed to do on himself.

Once again, not my translation, but the translation attempt of the guy
wanting the tattoo.
I haven't tried translating it yet since I think it's already been done.
