- "This writing… it's in the old tongue."
- ―Ahsoka Tano
An ancient script, referred to as the old tongue by Ahsoka Tano,[2] was used by practitioners of the Force, both light and dark, long before the Age of the Empire.[1] Inside the old Jedi Temple of Lothal, the walls were covered in inscriptions using that script.[1] Similar inscriptions could be found on the base of the Sith temple on Malachor,[2] in the tomb of Darth Bane on Moraband,[3] on a shrine in memory of Robbs Ely near Maz Kanata's castle on Takodana and on many of the Massassi ruins on Yavin 4,[4] and hieroglyphics at the Sith temple under the Jedi Temple in Ashas Ree.[5]
Behind the scenes[]
The ancient script seen in the Jedi Temple of Lothal is derived from a drawing Ralph McQuarrie made for the 1995 Star Wars Legends reference book The Illustrated Star Wars Universe.[6] In the context of that book, the Massassi script was etched inside the Temple of the Blueleaf Cluster, one of the many Massassi temples located on Yavin 4.[7] The script also makes an appearance in the Star Wars Legends video game Star Wars: The Old Republic: Knights of the Eternal Throne in the "Jedi Under Siege" expansion on Ossus.[8]
