Intisar - This Week in Aurebesh @thisweekinaurebesh.bsky.social · Oct 21
It's been very cool to see so much Star Wars: The Old Republic activity on Bluesky! I am the creator of the blog "This Week in Aurebesh" and for nine years I've been translating the alien languages of the game and discussing topics related to SWTOR and Star Wars in general. Here are a few favorites.
An aurebesh from Star Wars: The Old Republic text sign, featuring a large credit symbol and a droid icon, for the "Coruscant Marketplace" and my recreation translated into english. An Aurebesh text sign from Star Wars: The Old Republic reading "Defend the Republic" and featuring the starbird logo of the Old Republic alongside my English language recreation of the sign. My English recreation of a neon sign from Star Wars: The Old Republic above the original version seen in the game which reads "Good Eats" in the Sith Prophesy typeface.

After months of working at it between projects, I finally finished my Star Wars animation 💚
This was also my first time properly animating a creature with a gorilla-like walk.

This Week in Aurebesh: Welcome to the Rock! If I had a nickle for every time a rock in Star Wars got a name I'd have two nickles, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice. I share thoughts on the news and controversies of #SWTOR's next big update!

In today's post, I start by talking about the #SWTOR dev stream and then go totally off the rails! Sometimes these kinds of posts are the most fun to write:
An Expansion Tease & A Peculiar Controversy
On Wednesday it was time for the dev stream preparing us for the launch of 7.8 ! And it was... okay? To be honest, there were less "news" th...

This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #23: The Gree Data Core! I examine this floating droid & its connections to other cubic companions in pop culture. I also take a short look at the history of the Gree and how they were developed in #SWTOR.

Last night I spent some time exploring the upcoming Dantooine Biomes on the #SWTOR PTS and once again the team's environment artists have done amazing work. The interior and exterior spaces are distinct, diverse and flat out beautiful. I look forward to exploring the zones fully when it goes live!
Snow and ice cover this corner of Dantooine, a screenshot from Star Wars: The Old Republic. Fire and ice can be found in this toxic cave on Dantooine, a screenshot from Star Wars: The Old Republic. This mysterous tunnel on Dantooine is barely illuminated by glowing crystals, a screenshot from Star Wars: The Old Republic. The flora on Dantooine glows with unnatural beauty, a screenshot from Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Here is something I did not include my article about the Thurrb because it feels too speculative: I half suspect SWTOR's Thurrb pet was inspired by Futurama's Hypno-Toad, but they "Star Wars-ified" it by making it a Hippo-Toad. Canon or Legends? You decide! #SWTOR

This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #22: The Earthen Thurrb! This creature, unique to #SWTOR, is part frog, part hippo and part walrus, making it a froggopotarus, I guess. Check out my latest post to learn about it and its full grown kin!

This Week in Aurebesh celebrates Halloween with a new member of the Pets of the Old Republic: The Devious Creep! This mysterious, horrific and *very* expensive creature is ready to trick or treat across the galaxy, but mainly, I fear, it's ready to trick! #SWTOR

I have a fondness for the smaller mounts in #SWTOR; they just feel faster. This Verdier Luxline speeder is the final reward in the current Galactic Season. The emblem with the manufacturer's name is written in #aurebesh using the very appropriate Aurebesh Racer AF Mono by @aurekfonts.bsky.social!

I have been writing this weekend about the one of the most obscure pets in all of #SWTOR, a creature with literally zero lore, but I still had cut out a section connecting it to ancient Mesopotamian mythology. Sometimes I amaze even myself.

I would be lying if I said this guy wasn’t a big reason why there have been less scripted videos on YouTube lately. But he’s done for now, until spring!!

Learned a lot. Super pumped about how he turned out.

This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #20: The Flirron! This very tiny and hungry flying fish from the planet Onderon, a world rich in Star Wars lore, can be found by #SWTOR achievement hunters and won't cost you a single Cartel Coin or credit.

I do love the #SWTOR Feast of Prosperity event, but gosh are the two new "Grand" carpets really smol, especially compared to last year's addition. I really do wish we could scale some decorations like this.

EA is being sold.

I've done my best to address many of the topics, questions, concerns and comparisons that I've seen come up from players about the future of EA and #SWTOR. A very long read, with lots of topics! 📖

I hadn't planned to celebrate the 9th anniversary of This Week in Aurebesh with a post about Electronic Arts, but here we are. I don't know how this all will affect #SWTOR, but I do lament the human cost these deals take on the people who make the games we love.

This Week in Aurebesh presents Pets of the Old Republic #19: The Nefarious Blurrg! Despite (or perhaps because of) its ridiculous appearance and name, the Blurrg has made its mark on very nearly every era of Star Wars lore. It's also one my favorite #SWTOR pets!
