Use of Aurebesh

Plo Koon's gunships

The nose art on Plo Koon's gunships shows Koon's face between two clone troopers underneath the words "PLO'S BROS".[1]

Underworld businesses

Among the establishments seen in the Coruscant Underworld are "PLAYLAND THEATRE", "PURPLE WERM"[1] (note that the episode's Trivia Gallery on StarWars.com erroneously says "Purple Wer"), "IHOUSE", "SLEEPING ROSE" (barely readable), "THE HOLE",[1] and "ENMONST RCLUB".

Bolla Ropal's dossier

The dossier on the missing Jedi Master says "ROPAL, BOLLA" • "HOMEWORLD" : "RODIA" • "ABILITIES" : "IN QUESTION" • "THREAT POTENTIAL" : "MINIMAL" • "ALL OTHER INFORMATION RESTRICTED".[1]

Cad Bane's data

Cad Bane's data on the Jedi Temple says "LEVEL OF SECURITY" • "ELEVATION" • "JEDI TEMPLE" • "MAIN ENTRANCE FULLY SECURED" • "ROOFTOP ACCESS" • "ACCESS POINTS" : "FRONT" • "SIDE" • "ROOF" • "VENTS" • "SHAFTS".

Parasitti's armor

The left wrist of Cato Parasitti's armor, as well as the side of her backpack, is emblazoned with the name "KUAT" (best seen when she walks away from Bane's computer).

Jedi Archives computer

HHKeyboard

Upside-down keyboard

When Cato is using the computer in the Jedi Archives, the screen says "SHIELDING" • "ZOOM" • "JEDI TEMPLE".

Before Bane jumps down the air vent, another computer screen in the Archives says "RADIUS" • "DIAMETER" • "ANGLE" • "CIRCUMFERENCE".

After Bane jumps, the first computer reads "SECURITY VENT FANS" • "MINIMUM" • "MAXIMUM" • "FAN".

The touch-screen keyboards of the computers in the Jedi Archives use the Aurebesh symbols in alphabetical order, from A to Z. However, the 8 additional letters, representing digraphs, are omitted; there are no punctuation marks, and the keys are displayed upside down[1] relative to the user. Whether this was done intentionally or if it was a mistake by the animators is not known.

HHBomb

"Countdown to death"

Kenobi's data

The data display that Obi-Wan Kenobi looks at says "JEDI TEMPLE" and "ROOFTOP".

Bane's bomb

The display on Cad Bane's security chip bombs reads "ACTIVATE" and "COUNTDOWN TO DEATH".[1][2]

Unused Aurebesh

HHConceptArt

Concept art of the Coruscant Underworld

The episode's Concept Art Gallery on StarWars.com,[3] and concept art featured on the Star Wars: The Clone Wars The Complete Season Two Blu-ray,[4] reveal that during pre-production, Purple Werm was known as "Felucian Loveshack", Ihouse was known as "Gala", Sleeping Rose was known as "Hotel 77", and The Hole was known as "Bigrock". In the concept art, an Aurebesh sign over the main sign of Bigrock says "LAL".
