Aurebesh Primer As a Force sensitive individual, it is very important that you learn the language of the galaxy – Aurebesh. While spoken Aurebesh, also known as Basic, sounds strikingly like English, written Aurebesh can prove to be a bit of a challenge. This primer is therefore your key to intergalactic communication and your success with the Force.
Step 1 – Written comprehension
Translate the following sentences from the Aurebesh language to the Basic language.
1. “Now, witness ðe power of ðis fully operational battle station.” - Ðe Emporer
2. “Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust ðem.” – Obi-Wan Kenobi
3. “It’s a trap!” – Admiral Ackbar
4. “I find your lack of faið disturbiñ.” – Darð Vader
5. “In my experience ðere is no suç ðiñ as luck.” – Obi-Wan Kenobi
6. “Do. Or do not. ðere is no try.” – Yoda
