Writing

Writing was a medium of sentient communication, a method of representing language in visual form. A writing system was a set of visible signs used to represent units of a given language in a systematic way. Notable examples included the Aurebesh, the High Galactic, and the Umbara alphabet.

In ancient times, writing was done by applying pigmented substance on a surface with a utensil held in the hand. Over time, technological evolution made it possible to produce virtual writing characters without having to make complex physical motions with the hand. In the afermath of the Battle of Endor, Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan still wrote some of her letters by hand when she deemed they required a personal touch. Some people, including Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren, and Rey, kept a persona handwritten journal. At the height of the New Republic, however, almost nobody wrote by hand any longer.
