This methodology to create the sound of alien languages was carried into production of The Force Awakens. Burtt said of the process: "It usually meant doing some research and finding an existing language or several languages which were exotic and interesting, something that our audience - 99 percent of them - would never understand." He also used English, as in the original Star Wars where he synthesized originally English dialogue from a Western film until it sounded alien. He created the alien dialogue out of existing non-English language phrases and their sounds, such as Quechua for Greedo in the original Star Wars film and Haya for the character Nien Nunb in Return of the Jedi. Language development was approached as sound design and was handled by Ben Burtt, sound designer for both the original and prequel trilogies. The usage of heavily accented English for extraterrestrials characters was also criticized as contributing to the suggestion of racial stereotypes.

Lucas also insisted that written text throughout the films look as dissimilar from the English alphabet as possible, and constructed alphabets were developed.Ĭritics contend the languages constructed for the films compared unfavorably with the true constructed languages found in some other fictional works. This methodology was also used in The Force Awakens by Sara Forsberg. He created alien dialogue out of the sounds of primarily non-English languages, such as Quechua, Haya, and Tibetan. The fictional languages were approached as sound design and developed largely by Ben Burtt, sound designer for both the original and prequel trilogy of films. Characters often speak languages other than Basic, notably Shyriiwook spoken by Chewbacca and other Wookiees, droidspeak spoken by R2-D2 and BB-8, Ewokese spoken by Ewoks, and Huttese spoken by Jabba the Hutt.
