So it's just coincidence the A Wing resembles an A?
A linguistic thought (given Aurebesh)
- Thread starter FredH
- Start date
This isn't the franchise to look too closely at these kinds of details. By rights, nobody should be speaking English at all, much less writing in it (though Lucas did entertain that possibility.)
The aurebesh, (or rather the various non-roman lettering used throughout the original movies on which aurebesh would eventually be derived), is mostly just there for flavor, to give the subtle feel of an exotic otherness to this world. Same with the somewhat Asian inspired costume design, (mostly) invisible fasteners, and most clothing having some kind of non-specific technology woven into it.

Exactly. Basically the same deal with some of the alien characters like Ephant Mon, Nein Numb, Ten Numb, Amanaman etc. All just barely altered from the temporary nicknames used by the crew.
Yup.
You tell that to Autocorrect.
