Watching Clone Wars season 5 now... Are real "earth numbers" a thing in Star Wars? Did they mess up? Have they explained it anywhere?...
I can't remember seeing real numbers or letters in canonical Star Wars before. Sure in Lego Star Wars and other fun stuff, but not canon. Am I wrong?
Edited by RodianCloneThe X-wing is actually canonical proof that there are "earth letters" in Star Wars, and therefore probably also "earth numbers".
Because children lack the education for imaginary numbers

I see... So are there real numbers or letters on anything else in the series except this little droid that stars in a few episodes in season 5?
What episode was this? Where in the episode?
The death star screen display "countdown to blow up Yavin 4" in A New Hope had numbers on it.
The most recent canon revelation that blew my mind (which isn't all that new) is that the Imperial March is actually in world music: in Rebels it's played (a peppier version) during the Empire Day parade on Lothal.
Aren't aurebesh numbers almost just like ours?
Hold on one bit

WAC 47 has first appearance in Secret Weapons and is in 3 more after that.. on head and chest.

But thanks! That's very helpful. When I Googled Star Wars numbers I got a different one...

So did the X-Wings' targeting computers.
Also, before getting changed in one of the 'special editions', the tractor beam controls had English writing on them.
Also, A -wing, X -wing, Y -wing.

That's because the Aurebesh alphabet hadn't been invented at the time ANH was being made. It wasn't even invented as a complete alphabet until 1996. In its first "appearance" in RotJ, it wasn't yet a true alphabet, and the symbols had no meaning yet. The "Roman" Alphabet is referred to as "High Galactic" and is actually used in canon still, in some places, such as Ezra Bridger's journal.
Edited by Tramp GraphicsAlso of an additional, interesting note, the shuttle designations like lambda, theta, kappa, nu, zeta, etc. are letters in the Tionese language. This language predated Galactic Basic Standard.
So that's not Greek. It's Old Tionese.
"Your Tauntaun will freeze before you reach the first marker.
"Then I'll see you in Hell"
Um, isn't Hell a Christian concept, not Corellian?

Let's just assume that there's a belief in a hell equivalent in the Star Wars universe and it's easier to convey the idea of "hell" by saying "hell" rather than saying, "I'll see you in Gre'thor/The Vault of Eternal Destitution!"

Hell seems be on earth a concept widespread on not limited to the abrahamic religions. So it is most likely a concept that many star wars species invented independently.

Just presume that he's saying. "'ll see you in the vault of greth'lor!" And the Babelfish we had installed at birth is translating it into terms we can relate to.

Hel is both loke's daughter, ruler of the death realm, and the name of the death realm in our norse mythology.

Oh boy, shoulda known better than to open that can of worms.
Okay, regardless if hell is exclusively a Christian term or not, it's probably exclusively an earth term. But then it's the same trope as to why Daleks all speak English and Mimbari all speak English - so that your very earth-centric audience has a cornerstone to understand what - ahem - the hell is going on.

The Hell of the Upside-Down Jedi
The Hell of the Horny Rancor
The Hell of Being Blasted to Pieces
Corellians have a lot of Hells.
