disappointed that Lucas is allowing these sacred totems to be exploited by opportunist companies
Pretty sure when I saw this back in 1994 my reaction was "Whoa, a new Star W...wait, what the hell?"

This was around the same time I think I went "Wait...did I fever-dream it or was there some holiday special nobody talks about any more?"

Star Wars: Masters of Teräs Käsi is a Lucasarts fighting game released in 1997 and set in the fictional universe of Star Wars. "Teräs Käsi" refers to a martial art used in the game; and, while being in grammatically incorrect form, is Finnish for "steel hand".

Wait, is that music at 30 secs in a dance-version of the Cannibal Holocaust theme?
― Øystein, Monday, 9 April 2012 19:49 (twelve years ago) link
Haha, this is indeed true! When Kingfish posted the Youtube link I thought it was some Finnish parody because of the name, but apparently it's the real thing!
The correct way to write "steel hand" would be "teräskäsi", btw, since it's a compound word in Finnish.

I wonder where the heck they got the idea to name it in Finnish?

cos it looks like something spoken by aliens
― Number None, Friday, 13 April 2012 13:35 (twelve years ago) link
IIRC, there's some old American sci-fi movie where the "alien" tongue spoken by aliens is actually Finnish! They say something like "Sibelius makes excellent music" in Finnish.

Tolkien's Elvish was based on Finnish too wasn't it?

Partly, I think, though it doesn't have any same words or anything.

this is OT but there's something really great about these:

second one especially for "Imagine how much fun your kids will have" followed by kids listlessly humming the theme music and waving the tie-in products around in slow, half-hearted arcs.
Also just kind of stunned I've never, ever heard of Burger Chef before, despite Wikipedia's claim that it was at one time the second most popular burger chain in the US.
