Star Wars Explained | Why Do Star Wars Ships Use English Letters Instead of Aurebesh? #starwars @StarWarsExplained | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 6 days ago.
Why are X and Y-Wings named after our alphabet? Most writing we see in Star Wars uses the Aurebesh alphabet, and the letter xesh does not look like an X. While Aurebesh was the most common alphabet used across the galaxy far, far away, it wasn’t the only alphabet. High Galactic was another form of writing that was an exact match for the English or Latin alphabets we use in the real world. So I suppose the manufacturers of the X and Y-Wings decided to name their ships after the High Galactic letters they resembled.
