this is a confession to the star wars fandom because I have to get this off my chest. last summer just for fun I taught myself to read aurebesh and. you fanartists have Got to Continue putting the most Hilarious stuff into the background of your art because it is literally my favorite thing
here’s a couple of excellent things I’ve read since I started keeping a list just last month:
- “I hate drawing lightsabers”
- “Idk what to put here”
- “stupid fucking sign”
- “eat paste, it’s good”
- an entire news article on a phone screen which I actually found really impressive
- a few funny misspellings but the best one so far was ahsoka somehow becoming “asock”
- wanted poster of obi wan that read “wanted for fashion crimes”. the caption translated it as “wanted for high treason”. like blatantly lying to my face. love it.
- door on a ship was labeled “cake storage”
- “shopping list: frogs, hair gel, lightsaber polish”
and my personal favorite:
- “if you’re reading this you’re a fucking nerd”
#star wars#star wars art#sw art#this is the dumbest nerdiest skill I have#but it’s so fun to see everybody’s little messages#it’s especially funny when they’re just what the artist wanted to put#because then you know they were probably thinking like#oh no one’s going to know what it says haha#but I know#lmao#clone wars art#star wars fanart#aurebesh

ever since I knew of the existence of the aurebesh "alphabet" I've found it so funny that the letters have actual different names, but they don't use them
for example when saying CC or CT they say cee-cee and cee-tee and not cresh-cresh and cresh-trill
like bby gurl that doesn't exist but go for it
#same with plan b#plan besh#star wars the clone wars#clone wars#the clone wars#star wars#aurebesh#like i get why#but its still so funny#ik sometimes they use it#and why they dont the other times#and honestly i dont really pay any mind to it#but sometimes it hits me that lol they could use the aurebesh letters

Modern AU! Codywan👮♂️
I stole this design from my drawing last year lol
↑I drew this AU again...
https://archiveofourown.org/works/27588466/chapters/67488583
I haven't decided what Cody does for a living in this fic, but I'm starting to think Detective Cody might be a good idea... 🤔
#I know#the letters are too small#it's hard to read#sorry about that!#I don't know why did I draw this AU this much#In the last panel Obi wrote in#Aurebesh#aka Star Wars alphabet#But no one understand that#Obi-Wan may have a few memories from a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.#But what if he is the only one in this world who retains the memories...?#🥺😢#could someone write/draw#detective AU#and let me see them?#pleaseee#I mean it#😭🙏#At first I was going to draw#Prodigal Son AU#but then I realized#that would make Qui-Gon a serial killer#lol#but I wanna draw that AU someday...#Codywan#commander cody#star wars#YunamiArt

So,, this is my first ever post! I'm usually just a lurker. But the other day I was listening to this playlist and I just kept imagining Cody and the other Clone Troopers singing this around a campfire. The album art for Big Iron is so iconic, so I got inspired to make this!
This was my first time drawing a clone trooper so I hope it turned out okay! (idk how shadows work, nor do I understand feet,, and do they really just wear glorified crocs??) I did a quick re-read over the Aurebesh but my apologies if I made any typos. Annddd idk how image compression on here works so I hope it doesn't get too fried,, but I'm trying to post before I chicken out lol
#tcw#commander cody#clone troopers#aurebesh#space cowboy#my fanart#codywan#i know technically there is no shipping occurring in this but it is in my heart lmao#also I swear I read a textpost that had this same concept shortly afterwards but I cannot for the life of me find it

Can anyone read the Aurebesh in these screenshots?
I'm trying to translate it myself but it's slow going and I'm probably getting some of it wrong so if anyone else can decipher what they say, please feel free to add it in a reblog or something
The top two are from when CX-2 is breaking the encryption on Phee's coordinates to Pabu
The next three are when CX-2 is flying towards Pabu and somehow makes his ship undetectable so that The Marauder (rip) stops detecting it
The bottom screenshot is straight after when I think CX-2 selects some coordinates or something similar

"Plo's Bros" Nose Art
Of all the nose art we see in Star Wars media, Plo's Bros is one of my favorites, and I've wanted to give it my *own spin for a while - all while still keeping the style and colors simple enough that it hopefully wouldn't look too out of place on the nose of a LAAT.
*So that meant swapping out the phase one helmets for twos, and once more honoring the history of the 104th battalion with the maroon and gray around the visors. Think of it as poetic symbolism about looking to the future while still remembering the past.
Art taglist: @the-hexfiles
O.T.R. taglist: @dukeoftheblackstar
If you want to see more of my art you can find it here in my masterlist or by clicking on my art tag.

the Aurebesh isn't very great from a conscripting perspective. not only because it's a fucking cipher (a mere font to write in English, with English nonsensical spelling rules) but also because all letters are blocky squares.
Which us fine because this isn't the focus of Star Wars, it's purpose isn't to work well linguistically or practically, it is to set an atmosphere and pretend it's not English
Chinese, Japanese and other syllabic scripts work that way because each symbol stands for a while syllable, not an individual sound. and English has syllables with massive consonant clusters like scratch
an alphabet needs many tall, thin letters like l i r q r t p d f h j k l b
if all letters are fat and wide like ლ then any text occupies far too much space and is overly long. and larger chunks of text consume exponentially more space, paper, ink, digital pages, stablishment titles, etc, not to mention being annoying to read
the simplest solution is to create thinner versions of each letter, making them thinner and thinner until it's a totally different alphabet
a different solution that preserves the blocky feel is to combine letters together into ligatures, like in Hindi, specially for common words and consonant combinations, so, fusing E and R into a single ER letter, for example.
to illustrate, this is "Republic" in canon Aurebesh:
and this is "Republic" after combining some letters:
we could go more aggressive and combine more than two letters, but speakers would have to know all ligatures, but that's fine, Hindi speakers learn hundreds or millions of letter combinations and they're not random, they are intuitive
now with Skywalker:
of course, i'd still prefer to make an alphabet which actually makes sense
real life example: Korean
if we wrote English with the Hangul, Republic would be 러풉맄
[ㄹ=r][ㅓ=e][ㅍ=p][ㅜ=u][ㅂ=b][ㄹ=l][ㅣ=i][ㅋ=k]
ㄹ+ㅓ=러
ㅍ+ㅜ+ㅂ=풉
ㄹ+ㅣ+ㅋ=맄
canon Aurebesh would spell it ㄹㅓㅍㅜㅂㄹㅣㅋ
Hindi:
र=e रे=re फ=p फु=pu
ब=b ल=l ब्ल=bl ब्लि=bli ख=c
रेफुब्लिख = Republic
canon Aurebesh would spell it रएफउबलइख
