1)Why is this all one image?
2)A lot of that is just hebrew man. If you take the letters at the bottom of Vader's chestplate and plug 'em into google translate it reads "until he won". There's a mem in another pic and an aleph in another. So yeah a lot of it is just hebrew.
1)Because it was easier to slap them all into one image than uploading a bunch of images individually.
2)Inspired by it, probably, but is not actually Hebrew. And that's a myth that it can be translated as such.

In case you ever wanted to really know what Artoo was saying to Anakin. ;)
And I do not want to see the bunny skyscraper in this thread...
Aurebesh is pretty much an invention of the EU. West End Games created it for their d20 RPG. It's based off of the display read-out on the Second Death Star when they're vetting the shuttle Tydirium.
It only appears in that one read-out in ROTJ, while the rest of the OT used a couple of different writing forms. Including the writing on Vader's chestplate that changes between ESB and ROTJ and also shows up on the control panels on the speeder bikes. In ESB, when Artoo speaks to Luke it's a kind of garbled english lettering.
Anyway, Lucasfilm proper found Aurebesh handy and has since used it in all of their video productions to date, including The Force Awakens. Which is fine to a point, but I've always felt they should be more diverse like the OT.
