What if the Star Wars characters had to communicate through text messages? What if George Lucas was limited to 160 characters per line?
We now present Star Wars: Episode IV (The TextSpeak Edition).
For those not familiar with the acronyms, you can click on the link for a translation.

Wow, it takes me while to read this textspeak. Maybe that's why I spell out everything in text messages. In the words of Luke, if the movie was in textspeak, "this sux". Cleaver, though.
Oh, and C3PO wanted me to tell you "Wazup?"
This is insanely hilarious. To think of DarthV actually going "ORLY?", and then a Stormtrooper typing out "ASL?"…LOL!
Seriously. I'm crying here. You guys rock so hard!
Reid, its like a whole other language. So, wuz 4 dina?
