In the beginning there was a word, and that word was the foundation. But just How You’re getting closer to writing the first language of the galaxy far, far away, so it’s a fun topic to explore star Wars from its beginning. The Need to Get Out star Wars In the wider space after the original film exploded in popularity it created a world-building crisis that would take decades to catch on “and in doing so spawned a host of literary adaptations.
Basics: The language of star Wars
Before you even get to how to write it, you need to know what the base (also known as the base standard, or the galactic base) represents. star Wars. Although we as an English speaking audience hear it as English – and it is star Wars Is the fictional universe created by native speakers of the English language – the basics themselves are not designed to fit directly with spoken English.
Although we have seen that many languages exist on the other side star Wars Galaxy-Rosese, Shyriiwook, Huttese, Sith, Ghor, and other basics are actually a thing Lingua Francaa common language adopted at a wider level by the galactic community. But when we look star Warswe don’t really hear the basic, but instead the basic translation in English, any language watching a star Wars Project in: Japanese Dub for A New Hope it is like a colony to him star Wars Since its an English language translation, even if there are subtle differences due to the type of translation.
But that general idea of the base didn’t quite build there star Wars it was created – not in its stated form, as that really didn’t matter for the most part. -Something – is written However, the form soon became a problem.
The real thing star Wars It is covered with English signs and written words on display, something that may change after the blockbuster success of the film. Both The state is striking back and Return of the jedi Certainly, with the certainty that the audience even accepted the Galaxy is not far, far away, they created to put the English text on the screen, instead of creating different writing systems – the riams of the text did not leave a lie, but they were not given an explanation after the creation of this image.
Enter Aurebesh
That would begin to change with the advent of expanded space in the early 1990s with Aurebesh.
Aurebesh was developed in 1994 by Stephen Crane for West End Games’ Tabletop Skirmish Game. Star Wars miniature battles, A spinoff designed for miniatures originally intended to be used with a large-scale company star Wars spelling game. It is inspired by the font design that glows when opened Return of the jediAurebesh was fleshed out by permission of Lucasfilm.
A 34-letter alphabet, Aurebesh takes its name from the fact that “Alphabet” itself is a Portmanteau of the first two letters of the Greek words, Aurek and Beesh. The writing system was also expanded with a crane in a 1996 addition Incorporation of the statewhich added punctuation, and at that time, although other parts of the universe were trying to develop their own non-Latin writing systems star Wars games in the mid-’90s), Aurebesh was quickly adopted by the EU element as a written word star Wars.
But the EU, as influential and popular as it was at the time, was not the movies – and Aurebesh could really take it when it was first used on the screen in it star Wars In 1999, alongside other newly introduced methods, in A phantom menace. From there, Aurebesh as the crane he had created would go on to appear in all of the EU material and the Prequel Trilogy. In 2004, when the original star Wars was re-released on DVD, one of the few cosmetic tweaks included more formalization of the previously translated English subtitles that were properly translated by the scripting system as an official part of the series The Clone Warsand of course, behind star Wars‘selling to disney and the renaissance of star Wars Canon.
The crane did not originally create the Aurebesh number system, as the alien text seen inside Return of the jedi Still Used for Arabic Numerals – Another Dot Numeral System was originally created in 1995 by the West End Games Experiment Platt’s Starport Guideand finally found its way in star Wars Canon for the popularity of fonts that can be made by enthusiasts on the Internet, namely Peter Schuster New Aurabesh, first released in 1998. The font, combined with its inspired numbering system, will eventually be used in episodes of The Clone Wars and It’s revoltingand appears alongside the continued use of Arabic numerals in Disney-Era movies.
Because as widely accepted as Aurebesh was, the program did not come without its faults. Latin letters sometimes appear from time to time star Wars Objects on the side of Aurebesh, which means they were in the galaxy far, far away even if Aurebesh was very crowded. That alphabet also played an important role inside star Wars WorldBuilding with Ship Design: That is, that all Alphabet Fighters were built around the adoption of the Latin alphabet before the existing Aurebesh (it is X-wings, not xesh wings). Design off, among other military methods, he raised similar questions with other original letters, especially with Greek letters, which were often adopted throughout the series, from the Delta-Class group, to Republic Commando.
Other ways to write in star Wars
Although Aurebesh and its divisions are the first to be documented star Wars Today, there are hundreds of writing systems across the EU and Canon Canon to represent hundreds of other languages beyond the galactic base. Here are a few examples beyond Aurebesh that have existed across the expanded universe and the current continuum.
- Atrisian script: As mentioned before, this typeface, like Aurebesh, is inspired by the typeface seen in it Return of the jedi. First identified as such in the 1997 West End Games Games Journal, the Atrisian script was re-established as the primary typeface in star Wars”90s Boom Gaming, from within The dark forces, Tie fighter, X-wingand more before the popularity of Aurebesh.
- Pallight Galactic: The Pallic Galactic was put together as an explanation for why the Latin letters were there alongside the Aurebesh. It was first referred to in 2010 star Wars HyperSpace Fan Club Article called The written wordThe galactic top has since entered the timeline, and was first seen as a novel in 2015. Heir of the Jedi. The high Pallactic is considered to be Rarer, and the education of its use was greater in the pursuit of the upper classes, compared to Aurebesh which was widely found.
- Tionese: Likewise, the Tionese (named after the tion cluster, a system of planets in the Outer Rim) was established in the same 2010 document as the Greek apper. In both extended areas and the presence of its briefer in today’s continuity, Tionese is considered an ancient writing system, it still exists but has been replaced by Aurebesh.
- Trade Federation Script: One of the many writing programs introduced in it The phantom menace and the first use of Aurebesh on screen (including futhark and frowork, this is a different writing system of naboo), this writing system was used mainly in their trade language Pak Pak, then widely throughout the prequel ERA and The Clone Wars as the basic writing system was adopted by the sepatist confederacy.
- Sith / ur-kittat: Many writing systems exist in the middle of the extended universe, some take inspiration from hieroglyphs, others are more advanced systems. Sin as we know it today was largely created by Ben GrossBlatt’s 2010 reference book Book of Sith. The writing system established there will continue to be used in Star Wars Warsand appeared across multiple TV series before being used as an entry point Rise of Skywalker.
- Mando’a: The language of the mandalorians is one of the most complex built-in languages A star Warsin his best spoken form he went to shoot in 2005 Republic Commando And then it’s Author Karen Traviss for her novel series. But written in Mandalorian actually foreshadows the wider development of Mando’a, first appearing as a typeface designed for Attack of the clones. This written form will continue to appear throughout The Clone Wars and It’s revolting‘Use of The Mandalorians, before returning to live action use in The Mandalorian Season Two.
- Many writing systems have been posted since the relaunch of the star Wars Canon. Water me and Domain locationalthough named similarly to Aurebesh, it was a new typeface created as a graphic design Rogue One: A Battleground Storypurporting to be ancient writing systems established before Aurebesh. GHOR, was largely developed as a conlang of PurposeSeason two, and he had not one, but two writing programs created as part of that process: DIXIAN and Blood clotsalso known as lower and upper ghocror, respectively.
One thing that has always been true is writing star Wars In all the nearly 50 years that its development has been driven by fans as it works on the Galaxy is not far, far away. Since the early days of the EU, it was not only a non-conformity but fan work that collided and developed font packs that helped to power and even make other advanced things such as prequels and TV shows The Clone Wars-A gem that persists in this day, with tools like aurekfonts and not just plain writing star Warsbut to design methods then do legal things.
Wondering what literacy is like in a galaxy far, far away has been around for a long time to pursue star Wars Fans, so it’s only fitting that they played a fundamental role in helping shape what we’ll know for years to come.
