I know for people who like the Original Orignals, which includes me, this may be hard to get used to, but the Roman Alphabet which is what we are all typing in now does not exist in the Star Wars Universe. Aurabesh is the writing system of most humans. " A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away" is meant to be ambiguous and not set Star Wars in a certain time or place. If the Roman Alphabet writing system is used in the Star Wars universe it ties Star Wars to a certain time on Earth. This takes some of the mystery and magic out of the films.

Also, it is very hard for me to believe that our Roman Alphabet would be used by humans off of earth across the universe. This is a system not even all humans on earth today use. The idea that every human in the Universe will in the future use, what is already an old writing system to us, in the future across the Universe is absurd.

I know this isn't the way the Original Originals are, but it is accurate to the Star Wars universe and is a change I fully support. Adywan, I am glad you are keeping the Aurabesh and including more of it.
