“Fast, yes!” says Duel Han, “So fast that if I miscalculate, we will quickly

Chewbacca (and I), calculate our course!
Sittu nú! Snart monum vér fara skjótara en þú fengir vel trúat.”
Sit now! We will quickly go faster than you are able to believe,”
Ok svá vas; skipit fór svá skjótt þá, at engi skip Falfaðins fengi því

And so (it) was. The ship went so fast then that no ship of Palpatines was
able to follow it.

them, Slayer Obiwan and the others, saying, “Ye

follow us, then when we went as fast as now.”
En allir þǫgðu.
But all were silent.
“Þat es eigi yðr nauðsyn,” segir Hólmgǫngu-Hani, “At þakka mér samtímis.”
“It is not necessary for you,” says Duel Han, “to thank me at the same
time.”
Þeir þǫgðu enn, en Víga-Óbívan lét sem hǫfuðverkr væri á hann.
They were still silent, but Slayer Obiwan made as if he had a headache.

became silent immediately. I am concerned that men die unavenged today.”
“Þú mont kveðask vesa maðr forspár,” segir Hólmgǫngu-Hani, “En menn deyja
óhefndir hverjan dag.”
“You will be said to be a prophesying man,” says Duel Han, “but men die
unavenged every day.”

“En fyr hví þat, bokki sæll?” spyrr Þrípíó, “Fyr hví ræðr þú eigi Frískinum,

“But why that, my dear fellow?” asks 3PO, “Why do you not advise the
Frisian that he let the Irish be victor?”
“Því at Írar eru eigi vanir at slíta mann á sundr, ef þeir fái eigi sigr á

“Because Irish are not accustomed to tear a man apart if they are not able
to be victors at tafls.” said Duel Han.
