Wisconsin man, Randy Jamieson, has undertaken the task of bringing an Ojibwe-dubbed version of the iconic film Star Wars to the big screen. Jamieson, who is a member of the Lac Courte Oreilles Band of Lake Superior Ojibwe, was inspired to dub the film in his native language to help preserve and promote the Ojibwe language and culture.
The project, titled “Star Wars: Ojibwe Edition,” aims to make the film more accessible to Ojibwe speakers and create a unique cultural experience for audiences. Jamieson has enlisted the help of fluent Ojibwe speakers from his community to dub the dialogue, ensuring authenticity and accuracy in the translation.
The idea for the Ojibwe-dubbed Star Wars came to Jamieson after attending a similar event featuring a dubbed version of the film “Finding Nemo” in the Anishinaabe language. Inspired by the success of that project, Jamieson saw an opportunity to bring the magic of Star Wars to his community in a meaningful and culturally relevant way.
The project has garnered significant attention and support from the community, with many expressing excitement about the opportunity to experience a beloved film in their native language. Jamieson hopes that the Ojibwe-dubbed version of Star Wars will not only entertain audiences but also serve as a valuable educational tool for preserving the Ojibwe language and passing it on to future generations.
“Star Wars: Ojibwe Edition” is set to premiere at a local theater in northern Wisconsin, where audiences can enjoy the iconic film in a new and immersive way. Jamieson’s innovative project serves as a testament to the power of film in preserving and celebrating indigenous languages and cultures.
