Jackson Crawford is ‘translating’ the Star Wars saga from Old Norse. Here’s a sample from the introduction:
Víga-Óbívan waits for Lúkr to attain manhood, and by now is himself an old man. When young Lúkr follows some lost sheep onto Víga-Óbívan’s property and is attacked by his retainers, Víga-Óbívan defends him and later tells Lúkr (who in a dream has been given his father’s byname, “himingangari,” by a dís, but is unaware that his father also bore it), that Lúkr’s father Anakinn was slain by Veiðari, the great captain of King Falfaðinn of Kóruskantborg.
It seems seems to be ongoing, and currently up to Chapter 6.
is this supposed to be humurous? if not its just sad
It IS humorous! And highly so! At least if you know the icelandic sagas!
Guess Kizzik isn’t a mythology fan.
This is the most amazing thing ever. I’m definitely going to have to bring this to my Old English professor’s attention.
Anyone remember Njorl’s saga?
