I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

Carved in wood: "NABOUVEAU." Below, painted on lush maroon curtains: "Art nouveau for a galaxy far, far away...." The text is then repeated in in the Naboo Futhork alphabet.

I don't think a movie should have multiple aspect ratios depending on where and how you see the film.

Nabouveau has a free companion font Nabouveau Futhork, so that you too can write in the day-to-day script of the Naboo.

Thank you Star Wars pinball, Master Yoda indeed Lit.

Millions When Lit, so true.

Lite the Force.

Star Wars pinball machine game surface. One light is marked with an illustration of of Obi-Wan Kenobi surrounded by purple bubbling energy, it says "LITE THE FORCE"; below this another light, with an illustration of Yoda with a white halo behind his head, "MASTER YODA LIT"; and to the side of it, a small yellow text box which reads "MILLIONS WHEN LIT"

MICROGRAMMA or EUROSTILE? A handy guide for you to print out and keep in your wallet.

MICROGRAMMA interior corners are usually flattened whereas EUROSTILE interior corners come to a point. The more you know!

My reimagining of the Kresch, the encyclopedia-mollusk of Otoh Gunga, with the text in Gunganese, and using some (slightly altered) Terryl Whitlatch art.

Screenshot of the entry on Kaadu adult from the Gungan Kresch, as seen in Star Wars: The Gungan Frontier. The entry reads as follows: "Kaadu adult. These brave, flightless birds make excellent steeds for the Gungans and played a key role in the BATTLE OF NABOO. KAADU EGGS are laid on the ground in the open and are therefore easily eaten by PREDATORS."

The same entry on Kaadu adults, painted over to use a more sketched style of wildlife illustration (taken from concept art by Terryl Whitlatch) of the Kaadu. The UI elements from the game have been removed, and the text has been re-typeset in Old Gunganese, using the font Goongan AF.

DROIDS (1985)
and another happy 40th to droids, whose main title seems to be fully custom (or at least based on a font i've never found), but whose subtitle is GROTESQUE NO. 9 ITALIC (with LUCASFILM being set in what looks like NEWS GOTHIC with numbers from AKZIDENZ-GROTESK)

i messed up and identified some star trek fonts by accident. @starfleetdesign.bsky.social was kind enough to not yell at me and tell me to stay in my lane

Credit to @starwarsfonts.bsky.social for likely solving some of the bigger mystery fonts from earlier ☝️ in this thread.

The vintage NBC logo closely resembles BENGUIAT EPHRAM ARISTALIC while the James Blish cover logo seems to be GUSTAV MONOGOTHIC or RHEIN GUSTAV GOTHIC.

"Sugaan Essena" from Jedi: Fallen Order means "The Black Thunder" in the language the HU created for the song, and in 2019 it really kicked off the modern trend of going big for the diegetic music in Star Wars video games. youtu.be/YwutOqv4cGo?...

"Madness in Mos Eisley" is by That Hutt Can Dance! which (based on their album cover) appears to be an all-Hutt trio. The track is a pretty traditional upbeat jizz tune with spacey offbeat instrumentation.

States hold a tremendous amount of public health power. They should use it.
