Permit me to answer this for you Jello. In ANH, when Obi Wan deactivates the tractor beam power output, underneath the handels
"tractor beam 1" is written or something similar which is plain English.
But as you may know, in the star wars universe the most common human language is Basic, English doesent exist. So what Jello said is that Lucas should of transformed the english letters into basic letters.
When Luke, Han and Vader talk, the language they speak is English, but this just a translation for earthlings that see the film. The language the caracters realy speak, is actually Basic. But what earthlings see visually is real so English is not supposed to be seen in the films even though
it is heard.
