Space Pirates Ltd.

Not too long ago, in a forum not too far away, I made a thread in which members of the Space Pirate community posted some of their favorite Star Wars quotes, and I attempted to translate them into German. Here is the result of that thread. First is the original quote, followed by it’s German translation, then in parentheses are literal translations from German.
