Talk:High Galactic alphabet



VFD? --Azizlight 12:45, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No need to VFD. It's either canon or it's not, and it's up to the author to provide a source. --Imp 12:48, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok it's sourced. Now can we VFD? :P --Azizlight 12:50, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, but those aren't proper sources&mdash;I'm fairly sure they don't specifically refer to the Latin alphabet. --Imp 12:53, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Why don't you go look at those sources--they're pictures (for A New Hope, it is the Death Star reactor core in the original movie), and it is obvious that the Latin alphabet is used. [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]]     Expansionary Fleet Commander Mitth'raw'nuruodo   Discuss 13:05, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It was replaced with Aurebesh in the DVD edition, which would indicate that GL feels it doesn't belong in Star Wars. --Azizlight 13:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That's not really good enough. Unless you can find an official source that addresses the issue (as opposed to the current ones, where you are just extrapolating), this is not canon. --Imp 13:10, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Um, where does it appear in Episodes 3, 4, 5, and 6? Never mind. --Azizlight 13:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Obi-wan part
I removed the part about Obi-Wan on the Death Star, since in the newest versions of the film, which are considered the most accurate and canon, they have been changed to aurabesh. Wildyoda 14:09, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

What Anakin says
Wouldn't it be Plan Besh? :) Who knows, maybe B is a ancient short form of Besh. --  Riffsyphon  1024 21:15, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Greek
The possibility of the existence of a Greek alphabet article has been considered while voting for this article. Actually its canonicity is not seen only in the TIE squadrons, but also in Dunari's Rest. I would like to see if anyone concurs with it, before beginning an article and voting for/against deletion later. If I see no replies, I will include information on Greek in this article, nonetheless MoffRebus 13:28, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Pfphew... But, anyway...
All instances of this are obviously meant to be translations... Yet the vote's result was keep. That freakin' sign in Episode IV was changed, that should have been the end of it, dammit! But sometimes some people just need a good spanking from George Lucas in order to understand... It's a pity that George Lucas has better things to do than loose his time with sad little matters like this, even though it so often happens that because of this lack of involvement on his part, people are taking a dump on the fictional universe he so lovingly created...

But instead of just being bileful, I would like to propose a new idea. Since the Aurabesh of the the Original Trilogy is nonsensical, maybe the language used in the instances where we see Aurabesh in the Original Trilogy actually is an alternative way of writing the same language? Maybe it is this alternate form that is translated as the Latin and Greek ones. --Master Starkeiller 18:37, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
