Star Wars legend Mark Hamill decided to do a bit of fan service and weigh in on the long running debate over the proper pronunciation of AT-AT.

Right now, many readers are probably asking "what debate?" before declaring "it's pronounced...."

But not everyone is going to be uttering the same thing.

The official Star Wars Twitter account kicked off the debate with a poll.

For the uninitiated, this is an AT-AT or All Terrain Armored Transport:

They first show up in 1980s The Empire Strikes Back in the battle on Hoth.

Some people confidently responded this thing is called an AT-AT which rhymes with cat hat or rat-a-tat-tat. While others said they are called an AT-AT which sort of rhymes with eighty eighty or Katie Katie.

The first seems like the obvious choice, but a good case can be made for the second one.

R2-D2 is Artoo-Deetoo. C-3PO is See Three Pee Oh. BB-8 is Bee Bee Eight.

Writer and former radio personality Tara Dublin decided to call in an expert.

So what insight did Hamill share?

But he later added the ultimate authority on Star Wars—creator George Lucas—could not care less.

So, everyone is right?

People had some fun with the original poll and Hamill's responses.








So now that that's settled—sort of—how do we pronounce AT-ST?

We have a very bad feeling about this...

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
