Forum:SH Archive/Any Japanese speakers out there?

This guy pictured on the right is a character that appears on the PDF manual of the Star Wars 1987 video game.

I had a friend transliterate it, and she said this thing's name is "Eresu pado" or "pedo" in the Latin alphabet. From earlier experiences, we realised that these are usually Japanese pronunciations of English(-sounding) words, written in katakana. What do you reckon this one could be?

Apparently, the text below transliterates as "Ruuro no mae ni saisho nidachihadakaru koki da"  Stake black   msg 16:28, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
