Tyralak 12,068 Posted January 8, 2013 Interesting article. Come to think about it, I haven't seen anyone read anything in those movies. Most Citizens of the Star Wars Galaxy are Probably Totally Illiterate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scvn2812 504 Posted January 8, 2013 It seems a bit goofy on the face of it but its a well thought out piece. I don't know that I buy its conclusion, absence of evidence not being evidence of absence and all that, but its certainly an interesting idea. There was another thought provoking piece I read about the strong likelihood that R2 and Chewie were rebel agents the entire time and knew who Leia, Luke and Vader were (R2 having lived through it.)

scvn2812 504 Posted January 9, 2013 After thinking about it a bit, I don't think the comparison to the real world changing over to icons over written words for signs is a valid comparison. After all, all but the most ardently isolationist countries are now or are on their way to being de facto multilingual societies in many regions. Whether because of increased travel for business and recreation or migration, being multilingual is the name of the game. Where I live, we have large Russian, Ukrainian, Haitian and of course Hispanic minority populations and a lot of international tourism so it's not really feasible to write men's bathroom in a dozen languages.
