I’m speaking Ewokese
I’m speaking Ewokese, I think I’m speaking Ewokese, I really think so
Ah, boys and Star Wars and toy light sabers. I think I’ve finally had enough of ‘em around here. In case you didn’t know, my boys love Star Wars (screen names Count Dooku and Obi-Wan). And they don’t just watch Star Wars anymore. They’ve discovered the joy of pausing their favorite action sequences over and over and over. They’ve discovered the joy of acting out certain movie scenes as they play. Light sabers in hand Count Dooku and Obi-Wan act out every little detail. Today, during a scene with the Emperor in Star Wars VI, Obi-Wan mercilessly struck Count Dooku with imaginary lightning bolts. Count Dooku spasmed and twitched on the floor.
“Obi-Wan, stop using the force on your brother, he’s gonna hurt himself!”
Anyway, another fun feature they’ve discovered while playing their favorite movies is the subtitle and languages button. I have now heard parts of Star Wars in French, German and Spanish, in addition to seeing subtitles in those same languages. Today they were watching it in English with English subtitles and I happened to turn my head to see my favorite little Ewok, Wicket (played by the talented Warwick Davis, who also stars in another movie I like, Willow). As he said something to a fellow Ewok, a subtitle appeared at the bottom of the screen, (Speaking Ewokese).
Immediately that song by The Vapors popped into my head, “I’m turning Japanese,” changed of course in thought to, “I’m Speaking Ewokese”.
Of course it’s true, I do speak Ewokese. This is evident by my children’s failure to listen to anything I say. They must not understand me. I must be an Ewok, cute and a little bossy, but not a real threat. Oh ho ho, that must change. Hmmm, now there’s the question of how to do it without going over to the dark side of the force…..
:heart: 
I’ve never thought to equate being ignored by my children with being Ewok-ish. But now you mention it, it makes perfect sense.
Love Yoda-speak, I do, Yes.
Funny post! You brought a smile to my day. And I really needed it.
That whole matter with the dark side is serious business. Let me know if you figure something out that works.
Heh, it may seem like that sometimes, but if your kids ARE total starwars addicts, look up on google, how to speak ewokese. There will be a few different sites, but a little ways down there will be a link, it contains the entire ewokese language. Show it to your kids and ask them to try and memorize it, if its okay, try printing it and sticking it on the wall. It will be rather funny if you learn to speak it with them, then mix part of your sentences with ewokese, that will most likely get their attention for a little while. Good luck!
Here we are, I found the website link to ewokese, enjoy!
