@OnAirDeraan It's an interesting question. I think mostly, folks are just keen to quote Ralph McQuarrie (and why not? He defined a good chunk of the Star Wars visual landscape).

But Yavin is sometimes considered an ancient Sith temple... or a Sith offshoot temple, whereas Lothal is a Jedi 1/
@OnAirDeraan temple. Meanwhile, the Zeffo temples seen in Jedi: Fallen Order all use the same or similar script, alongside their more Zeffo-specific square runes. 2/ The Tomb of Kujet environme...
@OnAirDeraan And on Batuu, you can buy a Jedi journal, which includes a table of runes which perfectly match the ones in the Zeffo temples. 3/ Jedi journal from Galaxy's ...

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. Vader's chestbox from a publicity photo for the Empire Strik

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:

Translating the X-Wing consoles:

This unnamed script originally appeared in ESB in Luke's x-wing as a transcript of R2D2 on the way to Dagobah. The graphics were reused identically in RotJ.

@BLIND_LTD recreated the script as a font, which they used on consoles in R1 & TRoS. 1/ The first instance of this unidentified script
@BLIND_LTD The first stage of this project was of course locating every usage to see what we can learn about how many letters their are and whether common clusters appear.

In this case, where the letters are so fuzzy, having a large sample size helps to pin down how the letters are 2/
@BLIND_LTD *supposed* to be shaped, regardless of individual distortions in a single use-case.

So here is my compilation of every known usage:

A few are screengrabs, but most come from production photos shared by @BLIND_LTD .

There is a reason. When the original trilogy was made, Aurebesh did not exist yet. Joe Johnston had created a writing system that was used on a few screens and props throughout the trilogy. This writing system didn't map to any real-world language, so when characters were 1/
reversed or inverted, it didn't really matter.

This writing system is most visible on the Star Destroyer screen in Return of the Jedi, checking code clearance for the stolen shuttle.

In 1994, Stephen Crane developed Aurebesh based on the symbols he could see on that screen, 2/
for use in the table-top game Star Wars Miniatures Battles. Presumably, he copied them from a paused VHS tape, as some of them differ significantly from Johnston's designs, but in ways that would be forgivable given the bloom on the VHS version of the film.

Around the same 3/
