sacred jedi texts scans ISO

[ajb3art]

So in the art book for LAST JEDI, there are concept art pages and designs for the 'sacred jedi texts' has anyone purchased this book yet and scanned them? my local B&N is clean out and I wanted to start working on replicas. these are from the trailer but the art book i saw had 2 whole pages devoted to these books including covers and internal pages. reaaaaaallly would love to replicate those pages and build a few journals. also looks like some of them have burnt edges and some folding damage and all kinds of interesting weathering on them. thoughts?!

What about taking some pictures of the page(s) with your cellphone or other camera ?

Can anyone tell how many books there are? It's hard to tell by the pics. I think there's 7.

* maybe 8 with the one he has open.

OK, language nerds.... It's been a while since I used to regularly browse Omniglot, but some of those letter shapes look vaguely familiar, like they've used a real-world language as the basis?

Makes me think of Ethiopian:

Though on second glance, it may just have been inspired by it.

There are several letters I recognise. Some Japanese, Hebrew, runes, and astrology glyphs. Perhaps a random assortment, or accidentally matching more than intended

here i am thinking those characters were aurebesh

 

[breen2057]

I don't know these characters, but I like to think of them as an early version of Aurebesh, or the hand written form of the same letters. Something like the two Hebrew alphabets. Or maybe a proto-Aurebesh form.

Just thinking out loud here.

But those pages sure look nice.

Pretty cool pages. I'm not sure if its intentional or not but I recognize some kanji thrown in there as well. I'm curious what all the lunar phase looking images are about...

It’s a made up language, rian Johnson said on the book that he used Thai

Rogue One couldn't even spell "Bodhi Rook" right in aurabesh. They used two "O"s instead of the double-O. Same with the etching on Jyn's kyber crystal. ("Trust the Force" was spelled without the "TH" character)

My thought is that the text is either complete nonsense or stupidly easy to decode.

And yeah the books aren't going to be aurabesh. The big Kyber crystals on Jedha weren't even etched with aurabesh, and the books are ancient-er.

I think there are 8. Which I like because there is one for each star wars film.



That goes with my theory the the tree represents star wars and Yoda burns it down for a fresh start the way Johnson did to the franchise to revitalize and expand the universe for future films. Yoda crack about page turners could even be construed as criticism for certain past films. Luke is reluctant the way many fans have mixed feelings about the new film. Books 4, 5, & 6 in my graphic even represent Luke's outfit color progression. It may be a stretch but I like the theory

Did you notice that Rey only stole books 4, 5 and 6?

Edit: just wanted to add that this was a joke lest I incite anger.
