Topic: The font of "far, far away"?

There is more info on the fonts and crawls etc of Star Wars here - link - and then just scroll down to ‘Some useful Star Wars font and crawl info’ - there are also some links to some free font download sites.

This thread may be of some interest as well - ‘Recreating “A long time ago”’ - link

Hope you find the info you are looking for - or someone with a lot more knowledge than me on this will be along to help you soon.

The font used for the newer Star Wars film is apparently Franklin Gothic - for the 1977 Star Wars ‘News Gothic’ or ‘Trade Gothic’ hybrid seemingly used (as it was on film there was no ‘set’ font used at the time…)

I don’t think there are Edits that do focus on Kenobi mate (though hope to be wrong on that) and hopefully you’ve just given a few of the talented members on here an idea for their next project…

Ewan does a have quite a body of work to erm… work from - and there a few impressive fan trailers out there for that ‘Kenobi’ film - for ideas etc

Ah, nice one - thanks for the explanation mate 😃

How does one seek a royal prerogative of mercy? Asking for a friend.

a substantial donation to the political party in power at the time (or family member of high ranking politician) usually does it mate 😉

I thought Elizabeth was above that! Maybe the problem is she is merely a figurehead? If so, maybe you all should consider giving her more power.

Liz may be - though she is just a figure head in reality.

Strangely enough I myself may be able to help your ‘friend’ - ~~for I am a Nigerian Prince in exile~~ am a cousin of a high ranking politician - whose party are currently in power. Just send £400,000 via paypal (mark it a gift 😉) and say no more…

I just got to googling whether Meghan Markle might ever become your queen. No definite answer but sounds plausible. If all goes well with the lotteries tonight or tomorrow night, the money will be headed your way. Let’s not tell Jay about this.

Meghan Markle won’t become a Princess (and therefore unlikely to become a Queen) - like the late Lady Diana Spencer was never officially Princess Diana - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-42150762.

It’s all weird the whole Royal thing - though there’s likely some 1000 year old precedent somewhere in which it could happen - or a King Ralph style situation 😃

Or maybe not?

https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/4953/position-of-question-mark-when-sentence-doesnt-end-with-question

The sentence in the original question ends with a subordinate clause that does not, by itself, ask a question (“within which we can leverage our existing knowledge”). This is modifying a noun phrase that is part of the question (“set of simple computational rules”). Therefore, this subordinate clause is part of the original question, and should end with a question mark.

Putting all of this together, I would punctuate the sentence like this:

“The question nagging me is, To what extent can we encapsulate all what we observe in nature into a set of simple computational rules, within which we can leverage our existing knowledge?”

No, mate.
