"Nesh tashta," the Gran growled at them, and Anakin suppressed the urge to reach for his lightsaber.
"This is going to be very difficult if we don't get a chance to speak to someone who knows Basic," Master Obi-Wan said.
"What do you mean, Master?" Anakin asked, looking back in confusion. "It's just Gran. Don't you know Gran?"
"No, Padawan," his Master answered. "I do not understand Gran. I mean no offence by that, but there are a lot of languages and I have enough trouble learning Binary."
"Huh," Anakin said, but he was frowning. "Is that the only language you don't know?"
"I don't know a lot of languages, Anakin," Obi-Wan said. "In fact, I don't know a lot more languages than I do. There's simply too many languages to learn."
"But…" Anakin began, confused. "I thought all Jedi could understand all languages. It's how I programmed Threepio."
Obi-Wan sounded just as confused as Anakin, if for different reasons. "Who or what is Threepio?"
"He's a Protocol Droid I made, back on Tattooine," Anakin answered. "I didn't really get why Protocol droids were so hard at first but I gave him all six and a half million languages I could think of, but then I realized only people with the Force could understand every language so that made a lot more sense of why negotiations involve Jedi or Protocol Droids."
"Anakin, the Force doesn't work that way," Obi-Wan said. "I'm not even sure how you were able to physically find the time to program six and a half million languages into a single droid."
"Huh…" Anakin frowned. "That's weird. But, Master, one more question?"
He pointed at the Gran, who was now visibly fuming. "Shouldn't we tell him that we're here to negotiate?"
"I'll leave that to you, my young Padawan," Obi-Wan decided. "You are the one who speaks six and a half million languages, after all."
