Ja viitaten disagreehen, veikkaisin, että rottaa ei ole koskaan nimetty aiemmin, joten yksinkertainen nimi kuten aavikkorottakin voisi olla hyvä vastine. Olet varmaan kääntämässä "uusimpia" star wars kirjoja vai?

Veikkaus! (Luulen kuulleeni joskus tämän sanan käännöksenä womp ratille, mutta en ole 100% varma.)

Asker: Elokuvateksityksestä on kyse, ei itse Tähtien sodasta vaan parodiasta.

Asker: Ja kiitos siitä tiedosta, että sanaa ei ole käännetty aiemmin!

Asker: Sain tästä selville, ettei sanaa ole aiemmin käännetty, joten siitä pisteet.

disagree  Owen Witesman: But it lives on a desert planet! It's not a swamp rat. Sounds like wombat too. womp is also close to whomp (the verb), which is what one should do to a womp rat.

  -> yes, but the word suggest a translation like this. It has been translated into similar in other languages as well.
