How would a character from SW say something mild like, "Screw this, I'm leaving!" or something better than that (I just can't think of anything)?

In the book "Traitor," the narrator is describing what's going on inside Ganner's head, and he said something like "Sick of being a crappy Jedi." No one was actually saying that, the narrator was. Also, in my fanfilm I coined the terms "Son of a Sith" and "Bantha Poop." Note also Poodoo does NOT mean poop, it means Fodder. Read the Subtitles when Sebulba is talking.

I like to live dageriously by useing real swear words, but replaceing or adding one letter so that it's SPELLED different, but SOUNDS similar.

*****!
****!

etc...

Also damn and hell are of course ok, as they are both used by Solo during the movies, and by extrapliation I suppose ***damn would also be ok, and if anyone gives you that 'but that's an Earth swear!' crap just say that the concept of hell is from Earth too. Also '*******' was used in Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter, so that's cool too.

Gutter_Monkey, I think most likely a fic containing words such as those, would be terminated and the author warned - or even banned in some cases. It was my impression that JC doesn't tolerate words that even imply swearing. Naturally, examples such as "Sith" and "The Emperor's black bones” are the exception, as they sanction themselves to the SW galaxy.

Also, generally, if you did try to submit that piece of fanfiction anywhere, you'd be rejected based on the likeness of certain words/phrases to Earth "chit-chat".

Just my opinion on things. Thanks for creating this thread happy It recently aided a friend of mine.

One more question: can people just say, "kriff" without the -ing on it? Like a sort of "Oh, kriff!" type of thing? I don't want to use "Sith" because of the person who's saying it and I want a one-syllable curse.
