More importantly, though, a lot of people don’t care. In fact, inconsistencies with the pronunciation of words in the films already exist, like when Jan Dodonna calls Leia “Lee-uh” in Star Wars: A New Hope.Īdditionally, most people are not mouthpieces of Lucasfilm or Disney, meaning they aren’t beholden to canonical ways of saying fictional terms. First of all, there’s no reason why I or anyone can’t continue to refer to AT-AT’s as “AY-TEE AY-TEE’s”, because as the hostess in the Nerdist video pointed out colloquialisms are perfectly viable in and out of universe. There are a couple of reasons why AT-AT’s being called “AT-AT’s” aren’t a big deal. The next question is: Does it really matter?



I level this not just at you, but at the many others out there (you KNOW who you are) who flaunt these long established conventions and standards, swallowing the propaganda and outright lies the so-called "Rebel Alliance" has been touting on the Sub-Etha networks.Ĭlearly it's pronopunced A.T-A.T, the easiest way to remember this is to look to their smaller cousin, the AT-ST. I'm afraid I must take umbridge with this crass flouncing of the standards of Imperial walker classification, Brazbit. Kind of like "AT AT" vs "A.T.A.T." in Star Wars.
