Use of Aurebesh
Inquisitors' table
The monitor on the big black table that the Inquisitors are looking at contains mirror-inverted Aurebesh text, all of which is seen upside-down. It says "MAPUZO" : "TYPE • [gibberish]". The text "TYPE • [gibberish]" re-appears at the top of the monitor. The rest of the text has no meaning.
Loader droid's inscription
The inscription on the chest of loader droid in Tala Durith's workshop says "NED-W", even though his designation is supposed to be NED-B.
Safehouse text
Lots of Aurebesh text is carved into the walls in Tala's safehouse:
- As Leia asks, "What happens to them?", the name "DJINN ALTIS" can be seen on the left hand side of her head.
- Obi-Wan reads an inscription out loud, "ONLY WHEN THE EYES ARE CLOSED CAN YOU TRULY SEE". Note that some of the characters are illegible.
- As Obi-Wan asks Tala, "Risk everything?", "YOYO" appears on the left hand side of his head, while "[illegible word] BOY" is seen next to his shoulder.
- When Reva is searching the back room of the safehouse, there is a wide shot of her walking from the right to the left while she examines the inscriptions on the wall in front of her. The name "ROGANDA ISMAREN" can be seen on the bottom left on the wall to her right.
- In the following close-up of Riva's hand touching the wall in front of her, the name "VALIN HALCYON" can be seen on it, next to her arm.
The rest of the text is gibberish, illegible or only partially seen.
Unseen Aurebesh
The episode's Trivia Gallery on StarWars.com reveals a list of other names that were carved into the walls in Tala Durith's safehouse, along with the aforementioned Djinn Altis, Roganda Ismaren and Valin Halcyon. All the names, except for one, are references to Jedi survivors from older Star Wars Legends publishing and video games. The remaining names are "NICHOS MARR", "EKRIA", "ZONDER", "DRAKE LO'GAAN", "TIBERUS ANDERLOCK", "QU RAHN", "RAHM KOTA", "CERE JUNDA" (from the canon video game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order), "FABLE ASTIN" and "CORWIN SHELWAY".[1] However, the rest of the names cannot be read in the actual episode; they are either off-screen, or illegible.
Another piece of text that was carved into the walls but cannot be read in the the final episode, is "FOR LIFE AND LIGHT", a mantra from the Star Wars: The High Republic novels.[1]
