[QUOTE="Mwak73, post: 549726, member: 13334"] I think you're spot on, with the observation that it's mainly Luke with the Hahn thing. I can actually hear him very clearly saying it, in my head. Maybe that stretched out way of saying certain words, is more prevalent in certain parts of the US, than others. IE where mark Hamill is from. Mind you, if you look on most internet things, nowadays, or DVDs, etc, where someone is talking about star wars, they virtually always use that Luke way of saying the names. In fact, just to show how out of fashion, it is now, to use the old British way of pronouncing the names... Have you seen the Solo film that was out five years or so back? There is a scene, where the young Lando, says "Han" in the British way, and the reply comes back from one of the others, in such a mocking, self righteous tone, that he's saying it all wrong, and that it's said "Hahn". I felt like giving them a slap when I saw that 😁 It was no doubt written, that whole scene, as a tie in, to connect back to the old films, and Billy Dee Williams, who..... God bless him..... ALWAYS said Han in the original trilogy. On the subject of scout walkers, or at-st's, and basically any of these names, I reckon all of that started, with [/QUOTE]
