Leia Organa composes a letter utilizing Aurebesh
Writing, a means of communication for sentient beings, involved visually representing language. A writing system comprised a structured collection of visual symbols employed to denote linguistic elements. Aurebesh, High Galactic, Outer Rim Basic, and the Umbaran alphabet serve as prime instances of such systems.
In times of yore, the act of writing entailed applying a pigmented material to a surface through the use of a hand-held instrument. As an illustration, the ancient Sith inscribed their texts on scrolls. As technology progressed, the creation of virtual written symbols became achievable, negating the necessity for intricate manual actions. Following the Battle of Endor, Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan still chose to handwrite certain letters when she felt a personalized touch was warranted. Individuals such as Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren, and Rey maintained handwritten journals for their personal reflections. On occasion, Emperor Palpatine dispatched letters crafted by hand. Nonetheless, by the height of the New Republic, the practice of handwriting had nearly vanished.
The elegant art of handwriting was known as calligraphy. Ben Solo engaged in its practice during his studies under the tutelage of his uncle, Luke Skywalker, as he trained to become a Jedi. Within his living space at Skywalker's temple, Solo possessed a calligraphy kit, complete with writing implements, parchment sheets, and a reservoir for ink.
