XXV. Kapítuli: Lúkr mœtir Hólmgǫngu-Hana
Lúkr hitti mann þann, ok vas maðrinn fríðastr sýnum, hár vexti ok nekkvat

Luke meets that man and the man was most handsome in appearance, grown tall

“Já víst,” segir Víga-Óbívan, “Ef skipit sé skjótt.”
“Yes, certainly,” says Slayer Obiwan, “If the ship be speedy.”
“Ef skipit sé skjótt?” spyrr Hólmgǫngu-Hani, “Hefirðu aldregi getit
Þúsundár-Fálkann freginn?”
“If the ship be speedy!?” asks Duel Han, “Have you never heard mention of
the Millenium Falcon?”
“Víst aldregi,” segir Víga-Óbívan, “En es þat undrligt?”
“Certainly never,” says Slayer Obiwan, “And is it strange?”
“Þat es skip þat, es vann sigr í kappróðri á Kesseley, ok rørum vit
Tsiubakka hann á tólf tímum,”
“It is that ship which won a victory in a rowing match at Kettle Island, and
we (two) Chewbaca (and I) rowed it twelve times.”

what is the cargo?
“Menn einir,” segir Víga-Óbívan, “Ok erum vér fjórir: Ek, sveinninn, tveir
írar, ok engar spurningar spurðar.”
“Some people,” says Slayer Obiwan, “And we are four, I, the boy, two Irish
and no (more)
need of questions.”
“Hvat es þetta? Nekkvers konar sveitarvandræði?” spurði Hólmgǫngu-Hani.
“What is this? Some kind of childish? difficulties?” asked Duel Han.
“Ek vilda heldr eigi hitta menn Falfaðins, ef þat es nauðsynlegt at segja
þannig,” svarar Víga-Óbívan.
“I would rather not meet Palpatine’s men, if that is necessary to say thus,”
answers Slayer Obiwan.
“Ek skil,” segir Hani, “En þat es mjǫk erfitt gǫrt – ok mjǫk dýrt. Ok vil ek

“You are able to buy a ship, boy,” says Duel Han, laughing, “But who pilots
it? You?”
“Já víst ek. Ek em eigi vándr stýrimaðr,” segir Lúkr ok stendr.
“Yes, certainly I. I am no bad pilot,” says Luke and stands.
