I just noticed that Anakin talks to R2-D2 in Ep.1 when he's trapped in the cockpit and ultimately takes off...
This is something I always overlooked, but Luke talks to R2-D2 as well in ANH.
How do they understand R2-D2 speak (or droid...)? Is there a translator control readout on the dash or are they just so well versed with droids (Luke worked with and repaired a few and Anakin built C-3PO and worked in Watto's salvage shop) that it is something the audience should take for granted. I just never thought about this and wondered if anyone had any idea.

In ESB, as Luke and R2 talk about going to the Dagobah System, there's a shot of the X-Wing's console translating all of R2's beeps and babbles into Aurek-Besh. There you go. :-*

There's also a similar display in the Naboo Fighter in Episode I.

R2 has 2 tiny little screens on himself as well. And I'm sure they've run into other Astro droids before, or something that speaks in a similar dialect.

Well..I always thought people in the Star Wras galaxy knew all those languages....part of their schooling..yo know. :)
