  Was R2D2’s narration intended to be subtitled…?

    No, the narration would have been spoken. R2D2 originally had a human sounding voice with sarcastic or snarky dialog. Supposedly there’s an early script floating around that contains his lines. Random trivia: the name R2D2 is attributed to sound engineer Walter Murch’s notation for “Reel 2, Dialog track 2”. I love that one.

    I think I read somewhere that during the filming for the original trilogy scenes they read Chewie’s lines in English so the actors would know what they were reacting to. Not sure if it was the same for R2
