Star Wars Mythbusters
(Fonts Edition)
Darth Vader's chestpiece is etched with ancient Hebrew, reading "His deeds will not be forgiven, until he merits"
1. The letters on Darth Vader's chestpiece in ESB and ROTJ are definitely Hebrew, though some are rotated upside down.

2. Letraset dry-application decal lettering was used extensively on props in the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi. 3 Hebrew Letraset fonts were used: Microgramma Hebrew, Rahel, and Armon.
3. Vader's chestbox uses Armon (L: recreated Armon decals, R: original prop).

4. To once again quote @PhilSzostak, "designers don’t have time to add Easter eggs, lore hints or layers of symbolism (outside of the obvious). If you’re searching for hidden meaning in #StarWars art, it’s simply not there." The same holds true here:

@PhilSzostak The lettering on Vader's chestbox changes between films, live appearances, and official prop recreations. None of them intentionally say anything, and were just applied to look cool.
MYTH BUSTED

Bonus, though this pseudo-Hebrew was known in Canon as Common Sith or Myke, the same

@PhilSzostak script can be found on countless props from ESB and ROTJ, including: X-wings, A-wings, the Millennium Falcon, Solo's carbonite block, Lando's intercom, snowspeeders, and many more.

@PhilSzostak *CORRECTION: When I said it "was known in Canon as Common Sith" I meant it "was known in Legends as Common Sith." It has not yet been formally identified in Canon.
