Correct, I didn't have enough room on the ticker

The whole message would've been "Have the Jedi Rebelled?"

I would reccomend putting the "Have the Jedi Rebelled?" on full, and having the Grevious comment partial.

It's Aurebesh, the written form of Basic.

*waves hand*

There was no English on the tractor beam control terminals on the Death Star, these aren't the droids you're looking for...

The news channel logo is on the left, Palps' pic is there because you know when they get people on the phone during a crisis they show a pic in the lower right corner so you know who's talking

A code key for people like me who have no idea what any of that says. Fed Rebel, did you design this? I like it.

I'm trusting that's how YT knew what it said.

If not, I fear we have lost him to the Geek Side.

It's just an image of the temple from RotS, I added the Aurebesh and stuff using MSPaint, doing my best to emulate Fox News Channel just for the Hell of it. :)

Wonder when Aurebesh replaces Klingon as the new language of the future Emperor's of earth :)

It's for "realism"

And somehow i think that's what they said to Lucas back in the 70's about the tractor beam controls. :)

Its hard to make out the stormtroopers in the last image. Playing around with the levels to bring more contrast into the image:

A Little Off Topic:I wasn't able to download the Aurebesh font for some reason. Anyone know another place to get it? (I used the link from the code key page, BTW)

Sorry about that, That's just how the images were from the source

I decoded Aurebesh myself from the text in the BTM "game". It took me a few hours to figure out all the symbols but I eventually got them! I used to write stuff with those symbols everywhere, especially on school papers, as decoration. Then I discovered that there was a downloadable font :x

But at least that experience taught me that the YT-1300 can "whoop ass"...
