I think R2-D2&#8217;s name was changed because in English it reads &#8220;Ar-Two-Dee-Two&#8221; but in Italian it reads &#8220;Erre-Due-Di-Due&#8221; which sounds unpleasant. C-3PO&#8217;s name was probably changed so as not to repeat the same letters. He is usually called 3PO. In <em>Episode I<\/em>, the names of both droids are the same as the original ones.<\/li>\n<li>Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Darth Vader are called Ian, Leila, and Fener, respectively. Their original names were restored in translations of novels and comics.<\/li>\n<li>Jabba the Hutt was translated as Jabba de&#8217; Hutt, altering its meaning. In fact, the word &#8216;de&#8221; isn&#8217;t an article, but a particle typically used in surnames, similar to something like Jabba O&#8217;Hutt.<\/li>\n<li>The Death Star is called Black Death (Morte Nera).<\/li>\n<li>The lightsaber is called a laser sword (spada laser).<\/li>\n<li>Chewbacca&#8217;s short form isn&#8217;t Chewie but Chewbah (but not in the novels and comics).<\/li>\n<li>Star destroyers are referred to in the same way as the starfighters. This is because the word the Italian Navy uses for &#8220;destroyer&#8221; is &#8220;cacciatorpediniere.&#8221; That very long word in the movies is usually cut down to &#8220;caccia.&#8221; The trouble is that &#8220;caccia&#8221; also means &#8220;fighter.&#8221; This problem was solved in the novels and comics. In <em>The Empire Strikes Back<\/em>, the line &#8220;Two fighters against the star destroyer?&#8221; was translated as &#8220;Due caccia contro i caccia stellari?&#8221; which means &#8220;Two fighters against the star fighters?&#8221;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Big thanks to Francesco Cavallari for giving us some information you don&#8217;t normally see on the web.
