What does Bossk say to Piett?

[Kooshmeister]

It was said in the Bossk SL thread that Bossk had a line, although this is vaguely debatable. It always sounded like he just sort of grunted or growled at Piett. But if it is in fact the Trandoshan language Bossk is using there...what do you think he's saying?

The EU is of no help. In the comics and novels I've read, the Trandoshans always spoke English. Not the growly-mumbly language Bossk apparently uses in ESB.

To my mind it's probably something better left untranslated, probably some insult or something vulgar like that, as, if it is a line, Bossk would be retorting to Piett's disdainful mutterings about bounty hunters so it makes sense he's hurl some kind of insult at the guy.

I think Bossk is saying "Hey, I took off my shoes."


Seriously though, I've always took it to be either a warning about proximity, or a show of contempt or dominance, based on his position, standing way over Piett.

He says "Res Luk Ra'auf".

No, Bossk is eternally bitter, because he lost his flip-flops.

Quoth MST3K: "Shoe-polishing human, soon you will pay!"

I have determined this is what "Res Luk Ra'auf" means. He's swearing vengeance on those shoe-wearing Imperials.

i think it was a 'yo mamma' insult directed at Piett

All he needs is a good pedicure and someone to replace those flip-flops!

"Manners are their own reward, gentlemen!"

 

[bikerscout]

He said: "Whaddaya lookin at Pinhead?!"

 

[Los_Gringo_Loco]

"Whatchagonnado when Bosskamania runs wild on you, brutha?"

 

[bikerscout]

VF for a brit!! maybe u r originally from the states

 

[DarkUnderpants]

Translated "come on, bite my toenails, you know you want to... go ahead..."

 

[Darth_Broem]

He said to Piett "Your Mamma!"

 

[WilloftheForce]

No, he said...
Ehh...nevermind, I think I outgrew 'your mama' jokes

 

[AdmiralScreed]

I think he said "Hey, you want some Bossky?"

 

[DagMarus]

"Your mom goes to college."

 

[DT_SnaggleYak]

"You come here often? I absolutely love a man in uniform!"

 

[Artoo_Detour]

Bossk is saying:

"Gonna Bossk-up yer head fool! that's what's poppin' the Bossk is rockin' the big Bossk rules!"

 

[Uki]

It sounds like he says, "Let's look out." Perhaps a warning?

 

[Xeavyz]

Stop staring up my pants ??

One of the all-time SW mysteries will probably get solved in the CW series via same said line with subtitled translation this time around.

 

[Tontus314]

I figured it all out based on Hasbro's new version of Dengar. Bossk was actually warning everyone that Dengar just took off his cod piece and is letting it all hang out.

 

[bikerscout]

VF!!

Not a sight i'd want to see though!

Except Bossk speaks perfect Basic in the CW so he must say something really obscene. Probably, "you suck the Emperor's [censored] [censored]".
