I might link it in a later post if you don't mind. I wouldn't mind a bit! Yay for spreading the Star Wars & language love. ♥
and yeah, numen definitely sounds like the better option. Eee, thank you!!!
(I have opinions about which Japanese first-person pronouns Luke Skywalker and Han Solo should use...)
I would love to know what you say!!! The only ones I've learned so far are boku and watashi ... and I've learned that boku is limited to guys and it's hilarious when female!Ranma uses it, which implies it's very masculine??? Hm, since Luke has to be told "don't get cocky" I might think of him as the boku-user, but there might be a more nuanced understanding of boku that would better fit Han Solo.
Also, there might be another pronoun entirely that I haven't learned yet!
One of the lessons I listened to a while ago had a brief example of "women's language" but didn't explain it, but even if there are special pronouns used by women talking among themselves, they wouldn't apply to Luke & Han. So there's a red herring, oops.
