NORMAN, Okla. — In a galaxy far, far away, Luke Skywalker, Han Solo and
Princess Leianow speak Navajo.

The 1977 sci-fi classic “Star Wars: Episode IV A New Hope” has been dubbed
in the Navajo language. The translated film - which includes English
subtitles - is stopping for free screenings in places largely chosen
because of their Native American populations.

One stop will be the Sam Noble Oklahoma Museum of Natural History, where
Mary Linn, associate curator for Native American languages, is hoping an
Oct. 27 screening will serve two audiences.
