"Son of Suns" Debunked :(
Feb. 4th, 2009 07:54 pmI remember right around the time the ROTJ Special Edition came out, all of my fan homies were claiming you can hear someone yelling, "The Son of Suns" during the new scene on Coruscant. You know, the part with the crowd-surfing stormtrooper and the falling Emperor statue? Well, I went to see it again and there it was. I thought it was so cool! You see, the most knowledgeable SW fans know about the Son of Suns thing from the ANH novelization, supposedly taken from the mythical "Journal of the Whills."
Then when TPM came out, one of my friends pointed out that during the parade scene, just as the Naboo fighters were coming over the arch, you can again hear someone yelling out, "The Son of Suns." Naturally I went post haste to the theater, well, that next weekend, and listened carefully during the parade at the end. Yup, there it was! How awesome! For years afterward, many of us fans discussed how the Son of Suns referenced the Chosen One prophecy. It made sense. TPM marked Anakin's first great heroic feat, while ROTJ marked his last.
Well, Pablo Hidalgo blew that theory out of the water with this post on starwars.com:

The line is actually "Gi Shatta Gasha" which is Huttese for....? It doesn't say. But it could mean anything. It could be "I need a beer" or something worse than the dreaded "e chuta."
Great, next you'll be telling us Lando wasn't slated for death in ROTJ, Anakin didn't mouth "f-you" to Obi-Wan in ROTS, the Hebrew lettering on Vader's ROTJ control box was just gibberish, or that the Three Men And A Baby ghost isn't real.
