I think the text is just fine. One thing I like about the SW universe is that everything doesn't have to be explained.
So... why is the text there? Who cares. It's there because it's there. There doesn't have to be a reason. First time viewers wouldn't be distracted in the slightest.
Oh, and congrats on the new pad Ady. Glad to hear a 'good news' delay this time around.
