Abstract

MACEDO, Lucas Stefanini de. Analysis of the Translations for Subtitling and Dubbing of Yoda in Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith This study aims to analyze the translations for subtitling and dubbing of Yoda's lines in the film Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith, investigating how the character’s linguistic identity is maintained or adapted in each mode. Known for his unique speech pattern, characterized by syntactic inversions and unusual grammatical constructions, Yoda presents an intriguing challenge for audiovisual translation. The research is divided into three main sections: Research Report – Methodology, which describes the analysis methods and selection criteria; Theoretical Framework, which explores concepts of audiovisual translation, subtitling, and dubbing; and Data Analysis, which compares the translations and examines the strategies adopted in each modality. This analysis seeks to understand the impact of translation choices on preserving the character’s identity and on audience reception, highlighting the particularities and limitations of both subtitling and dubbing. The study concludes that each modality presents distinct challenges and solutions in conveying Yoda's unique style, offering contributions to the study of characters with marked linguistic features in audiovisual translation, and emphasizing that a good translation begins with selecting translators suited to each type of media or intellectual property in question
