One of the pieces of McQuarrie art that first used the runes The Written Word, an online article from 2010 about Star Wars alphabets, said that the writing from McQuarrie’s artwork was a Massassi one, simplified from the High Sith writing. Stackpole in 1998, confirmed that the temples of Yavin 4 were adorned with Sith writing, implying the runes from the artwork were indeed Sith in origin.
Tales of the Jedi, also written by Anderson around the same time, established a Sith writing but the artwork essentially depicted it was squiggles. The first appearance of what would become the Sith script we are familiar with was in concept art by Ralph McQuarrie of the Yavin 4 temples, seen in The Illustrated Star Wars Universe, written by Kevin J. I’ve been interested in them for a while and I decided there is finally enough information about them to fill a post. For this post, I wanted to go over the ancient Sith runes that have shown in up a number of visual mediums throughout the last few years of storytelling.
