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

7. “Strike me down, and I will become more powerful ðan you could possibly imagine.” – Obi-Wan Kenobi Trainiñ Document
