Blog: This Week in Aurebesh


Galandro

Recommended Posts

The last couple weeks I continued to translate signs that can be see in the Cademimu flashpoint (and other Republic worlds).

 

The first sign contains an easter egg reference that recalls not only other Star Wars movies but also one of George Lucas' biggest influences as a filmmaker.

 

Your Number is 2187, Isn’t it?

 

Next up I recreated a large, fairly complex warning sign:

 

Watch (Your) Step

 

Check 'em out if you have a moment!

I gotta admit, the time you take to actually try and translate and succeed in these all across the game is incredible and very interesting.

Keep it up!

 

First and foremost, thank you for the kind words! I can't begin to say what a difference they make, but I do very appreciate the feedback!

 

This week, in honor of the CXP bug, pay a visit to Corellia's Black Hole daily quest area and uncover the meaning behind the unique Aurebesh signs and posters that can be found there!

I'd just like to proudly say, that This Week in Aurebesh just celebrated its first birthday.

 

To mark the occasion, I recreated three wanted posters that first appeared in the Overwatch Headquarters during KotFE's Chapter 10, "Anarchy in Paradise". One poster in particular features a familiar name from recent Star Wars lore.

Finally, just tonight while anticipating a certain new movie trailer, I jotted down some thoughts on SWTOR's latest roadmap and other news of the week.

 

Where We’re Going We Don’t Need Road Maps!

 

Once you've warn out the replay button on the trailer, feel free to stop on by!

After a short break, I'm back with one of my occasional dumb top five lists. This time I thought I'd highlight five of my favorite Dye modules that don't come from the Cartel Market and won't break anyone's piggie bank of Cartel Coins or credits!

Happy New Year! This Week in Aurebesh made the transition from 2017 to 2018 with two new posts. The first is my short, but spoilery review of the most excellent The Last Jedi.

 

The Last Jedi Review

 

Next up, I offer predictions that run the gamut from bold to ridiculous for what I expect to see in SWTOR this coming year.

This Week in Aurebesh I celebrate the improbable return of Jaxxon and Amaiza in the comic book pages of the Star Wars Adventures' 2018 Annual. I addition to paying tribute to the great, green rocket-rabbit, I've recreated and translated a sign from the Black Hole that, in a roundabout way, relates to Jax and Amaiza.

This Week in Aurebesh is a busy one! I share some love for Rose Tico, briefly review Solo: A Star Wars Story and finally finish a recreation of Aurebesh poster that I've been tinkering with for more than a year.

 

A Rose By Any Other Name

 

Also check out my previous post in which instead of recreating an Aurebesh sign in English, I flip the script and recreate one of in the infamous Solo teaser posters in Aurebesh, but with a SWTOR twist, that fans of Darth Marr might enjoy.

I'm proud to announce that This Week in Aurebesh has just celebrated it's second birthday! To mark the occasion, I've returned to the Justicar Sector of Coruscant to translate and re-create two propaganda posters from the zone.

This Week in Aurebesh I skip the Aurebesh translation on account of last week's holiday and instead present a list of the top five features I'd like to see SWTOR borrow from its older sibling, World of Warcraft. Don't worry, this isn't a post about tearing down one game to build up another.

 

Lok’tar Ogar: Five Things SWTOR Should Steal from WOW

 

While you're there check out some other recent posts including my opinions of the news from last month's Developer Livestream, a review of the first few episodes of Star Wars: Resistance and my recap of the SWTOR Unite event. As always, there are Aurebesh translations sprinkled throughout!

This Week in Aurebesh just celebrated its third birthday, somewhat to our surprise, as Vector might say! To mark the occasion, I've translated the ancient Jedi runes near Ood Bnar's datacron on Ossus. I also examine the meaning of the text and the origins of the runes themselves. I hope you'll check it out!

This Week in Aurebesh's 100th post is a slightly overdue overview of my first month in SWTOR's new expansion Onslaught, another reason why it's a great time to be a Star Wars fan!

My previous entry is a look back at a selection of my favorite previously translated holographic and neon signs that you might spot on your journey into the underworld of Mek Sha!

 

Clip Show

 

Also don't miss my recreation of a simple poster that has long been one of my favorites. In addition I discuss my visit to October's SWTOR's Community Cantina event in New York City!

Finally, this week, to celebrate the imminent release of Rise of Skywalker, I will be beginning my most epic and personal Dumb Top Five list: My Top Five Favorite Things about Star Wars that aren't movies.

This Week in Aurebesh kicks off the roaring 20's with my now traditional list of almost certainly wrong predictions for the coming year. Why go for a single when I can swing for the fences?

 

A Mug’s Game: Five Predictions for 2020

 

Finally, this week's post is a very non-click-baity review of The Rise of Skywalker, a fun movie I mostly liked.
