They pronounced it that way in an episode of Archer once and it took me a few moments to even realize what they were saying. And how do those people pronounce AT-ST?

I definitely remember my wingmen in the Rogue Squadron game saying imperial walker, at at, and a t a t for whatever that’s worth.

"AT-AT" sounds better than "A.T.A.T."

Spelling out every acronym partially defeats the purpose of having acronyms and makes it sound as though you are trying to conceal what you're talking about from a three-year-old.

"I sure do love those Jedi and their L - A - S - E - R swords."

In other news, apparently Daisy Ridley is great at Star Wars secrets, terrible at Werewolf/Mafia secrets.

This plus a few other old starwars ads (r2d2 & c3po anti smoking ad) aired before a screening of Rogue One when I went to see it a second time as an independent cinema, no modern ads or trailers, just old star wars ads and a ROTJ on VHS ad which was great.

The only canonical source of names I accept are on the backs of late 70's, early 80's action figure cards.

Another thing I just read: Mark Hamill had to make sure the way he plays Luke in the new movies is based on the actual script instead of his headcanon.

My guess is he came to the planet for the ancient temple, and stayed for the porgs. Trained one to fetch his shoes. You know what it didn't do? Kill all the other porgs and burn down his house.

I mean, they are pretty famous works of literature. Don’t know how the last few movies did, though, especially after moving from Disney to Fox.

The new one will apparently star Eleven from Stranger Things.

I'm glad he thought to consult Johnson. Michael Gambon didn't read any Harry Potter novels because he believed it wouldn't help him create the Dumbledore in the screenplays and he built the character from the script and from working with directors. It doesn't bother me at all that Hamill is trying to fill in the last 30 years so long as he was on the same page as Johnson.

A new trilogy just got announced. /Not/ Episodes X-XII.

Whatever.
HOLY poo poo. Awesome. Lucasfilm must be super hype on TLJ.

SW.com posted:

For director Rian Johnson, Star Wars: The Last Jedi was just the beginning of his journey in a galaxy far, far away.

Lucasfilm is excited to announce that Johnson will create a brand-new Star Wars trilogy, the first of which he is also set to write and direct, with longtime collaborator Ram Bergman onboard to produce.

As writer-director of The Last Jedi, Johnson conceived and realized a powerful film of which Lucasfilm and Disney are immensely proud. In shepherding this new trilogy, which is separate from the episodic Skywalker saga, Johnson will introduce new characters from a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored.

“We all loved working with Rian on The Last Jedi,” said Kathleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm. “He’s a creative force, and watching him craft The Last Jedi from start to finish was one of the great joys of my career. Rian will do amazing things with the blank canvas of this new trilogy.”

“We had the time of our lives collaborating with Lucasfilm and Disney on The Last Jedi,” Johnson and Bergman said in a joint statement. “Star Wars is the greatest modern mythology and we feel very lucky to have contributed to it. We can’t wait to continue with this new series of films.”

Johnson’s upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi arrives in U.S. theaters on Dec. 15, 2017.

Were I️ a betting man, I️ would put money on:
2019: Episode IX
2020: Rian 1
2021: _______: A Star Wars Story
2022: Rian 2
2023: ______: A Star Wars Story
2024: Rian 3
2025: Episode X

That'll give us a good solid breather from Episodic Skywalker Saga, but also give us the standalone spinoffs (fill in the blanks with Obi-Wan/Fett/Jabba/whatever)
