Futhark was a form of writing based on ovals and circles. Used on the planet of Naboo as its formal alphabet, the symbols were mainly used on spacecraft, such as the N-1 starfighter, and controls to distinguish different features.

Futhark was the formal written version of the Naboo language, and was derived from the Royal Script of Grizmallt. The system was used in a regal fashion on Naboo, but common folk largely found it hard to decipher, as its characters all had similar shapes. Futhork was the informal writing.[1]

Behind the scenes[]

The name "Futhark" is derived from the first six letters of the Nordic variant runic alphabetF, U, Þ (a letter representing the dental fricative th), A, R, and K—used in Scandinavia before the Latin alphabet was introduced there.

In Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Fallen Empire, actual Nordic futhark runes are embroidered on the robes of Emperor Arcann and Vaylin.
