"Lightsaber Lost" is the eleventh episode of Season Two of the animated television series Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It aired on January 22, 2010.

Use of Aurebesh[]

Coruscant signage[]

Among the signs on Coruscant are "ROSS", "HOT" (part of the Ross storefront), "SALE" (on a Ross store – the first symbol is partially obscured), "CABARET" and "NOODLE BAR"; Aurebesh can also be glimpsed on other signs.

Signage on the massage parlor where Anakin apprehends Car Affa includes "SHOULDER ACHES" (on a blue sign after Ahsoka's lightsaber is stolen) and "MANAGE" • "ESPECIALLY" • "SHOULDER ACHES" • "OPEN" (over the entrance, after Affa is apprehended; another copy of the same sign is seen next to Chezdeze, but only from far away).

An establishment in Slum district G17 is called "CHEZDEZE" and is "OPEN"; this can be seen in a wide shot right before Ahsoka says, "This isn't happening" – note that the name of the business may be hard to read on larger television screens, as the neon sign consists of white characters on a very pale red background.

In the same shot, we see a sign for a business called "NOODLE BAR".

The bottom of the sign above Lauli Wahlo's shop reads "NOODLES". (As seen in "Duchess of Mandalore," the full sign reads "GALAXY NOODLES".)

A green sign right across from the noodle shop reads "MASSAGE".

Above the Spider Arms Hostel, the words "SPIDER ARM" (not "Arms") are written on the building as well as on several signs.

When Cassie Cryar climbs up the pipe, a wall with a hatch in it advises "CAUTION" – "DO NOT TOUCH".

Coruscant billboards[]

Several billboard advertisements can be seen written in Aurebesh:

As the camera pans down to Anakin and Ahsoka on Coruscant at the beginning episode, a blue "VIDEO STORE" ad can be seen in the upper left hand corner, but it is mostly illegible (it can be clearly seen in "Duchess of Mandalore").

There is one billboard ad called "STAR TOURS" and is an advertisement for a travel agency, reading:

STAR
TOURS
[1]
GLEE ANSELM[1][2]
CALL 1-800-555-6576 NOW!

It is best seen on of the giant billboards that Cassie and Ahsoka run across during the chase through Coruscant.

Another billboard ad is for "SODA".[1] It is one of the giant billboards that Ahsoka chases Cassie across.

Right as Ahsoka jumps off the holofeed announcement screen, "KUAT DRIVE YARDS" is displayed on the text scrolling below Palpatine's image.

Coruscant posters[]

Aurebesh posters can be seen inside the massage parlor where Anakin goes to fetch Car Affa; "DASHA SIGWEED"[1] (barely readable in this episode), and posters that are too far away to read in this episode, but seen up close in "Lethal Trackdown": "SPACEWORLD", "CORUSCANT NIGHTS", "STARGAZER"[1] and "MAX RE[obscured]" "CORUSCANT NIGHTS".

When Cassie destroys the homing beacon, a poster of a kneeling figure and Aurebesh text can be spotted in a train (it can also be glimpsed on a wall earlier in the episode); as the poster, in this episode, is far away and mirror inverted, it is difficult to read; it re-appears in "Duchess of Mandalore" and "Lethal Trackdown", which show that the text reads "SULCASKY! AN EXHIBITION".

Jedi Temple computer[]

In the Jedi Archives, a piece of text next to a mugshot of "BREA TONNIKA"[1] reads "LAST SEEN ON CORUSCANT" . "WANTED FOR MURDER".

A collection of images of Patrolian criminals shows the names underneath the pictures, but they are unreadable. The name of "BANNAMU" is present under a mugshot of him on another archive screen (additional text can also be glimpsed).

Train station destinations[]

At the train station, a screen list the following destinations: "BURBANK", "ULENDALE", "ARABIA" and "ALDERAAN". Another screen at the station shows a long text which only produces gibberish.

Police speeders[]

The police speeders are emblazoned with the text "SP".
