Not that it's a competition, but I was told it's an "at at" (rhymes with hat hat), and thier justification was that they heard JJ say it that way.

Nobody, and I mean nobody with any say in the sequels understood the universe even at an elementary level. Everyone just showed up to flip the franchise up by the ankles and give a few shakes to try and dislodge its lunch money.

    Listen. There are only a handful of hills I am willing to die on. And one of those hills is that the "rhymes with 'hat hat'" pronunciation is objectively wrong. Like even Lucas could say it and it's wrong. "AyTee-AyTee" is the pronunciation. This is because there are other vehicles in that series, most notably the AT-ST. So what do you call that? The "Aht-EssTee?"
