Use of Aurebesh
Gunship nose art
There are several Republic gunships with unique nose art:
Obi-Wan Kenobi's ship has a painted illustration of a nexu, with the phrase "BAD KITTY" written on it in Aurebesh.[1][2]
Ki-Adi-Mundi's gunship has a skull-faced clone trooper helmet painted on it, with the phrase "SEPARATIST NIGHTMARE".[1][3]
Another ship shows a clone trooper holding a large scythe, accompanied by the text "GRIM REAPER".
One of the ships used to bring wounded clone trooper away from the destroyed Geonosis primary droid foundry ray shield generator is decorated with an illustration of a clone trooper riding a missile, with the rather ironic message "I COME IN PEACE" underneath.
One of the gunships used in the Second Battle of Geonosis has nose art of a Twi'lek female in clone trooper armor, with the ship's name, "LUCKY LEKKU", written in Aurebesh.
Another ship used in the battle shows a female Twi'lek in a seductive pose, with the inscription "SPACEWARD HO!".
When the gunships began their launch sequence, one ship seen inside Obi-Wan's Acclamator-class assault ship is called the Crumb Bomber. It has nose art that features a Kowakian monkey-lizard wielding a bomb, with the inscription "LAUGH THIS OFF".
Clone troopers' macrobinoculars
The display on the clone troopers' macrobinoculars says "REGULAR MODE", "INFRARED MODE", "MIN", "MAX", "ZOOM IN" and "ZOOM OUT".
