How they do this joke in other Earth languages
Language | Description |
---|---|
In Danish | They don't dub normally films (except cartoons) but the subtitles said "General" Koks", Koks being slang for when things mess up. |
Spanish | In the version of the film that's in English with Spanish subtitles, Poe calls him "General ugh", referring to the word in English since ugh isn't really used in Spanish. In the dub version they called him General Palidox”, combining the words Pálido (pale) and Hux. |
Hungarian (Magyar) | He's just pretending to have a bad connection. |
Russian | They left out the entire bit. |
Ukrainian | The word they used (part of which Pete cannot say out loud without censoring himself) is "генерал Факс", which translates to "General Fax" (like a fax machine). |
Italian | They already pronounce his name as 'General Hacks' and so Poe calls him General Fax (which has the same meaning as it does in English). Does this mean they have fax machines in Star Wars? |
Chinese (Traditional) | "General Hux" was translated phonetically as "He-Si". "Hugs" was translated as "Ho-Si", where "Ho" was spelled as the word that means 'monkey'. |
Meta Minute
