I Was Just Admonished by a Star Wars Fan I was just talking with my cube neighbor. Nice guy. I like him. We talk often. Was telling him my favorite scene from Empire Strikes Back and said, "My favorite scene of all Star Wars scenes has always been the At At scene." I pronounced it like, you know, @ @.
He said, "Excuse me?" I repeated myself and he followed up. "Oh, what you mean is the A.T. A.T's, and it's more correctly referred to as the battle for Hoth scene. I should warn you you're talking to a serious fan of the series." I've been shamed for apparently mispronouncing some stupid shit that I've liked for 25+ years.  | |

"At At" is much cuter. Stick to it and tell that geek to fuck off the next time he corrects you. | |

I once said "warp drive" instead of "hyper-drive"... that was a terrible day.  | |

I wish I could claim the same. Though ask me a question regarding the last 3 and you'd get a big shrug!Christian Zombie Vampires | |

???? How should the films be refered to? I always say the "First one" and then I cach myself saying episode 4 or By title ie The EMpire Strikes Back. But in general What are the latest 3 refered to as? The first 3?
Yes this is a legit question. Christian Zombie Vampires | |

Yes this is a legit question. It's tough, dude. It's tough. In my head, "Episode 1" feels like the 1977 film, but it's not. It requires nearly real thought processes and I resent that. | |

Yes this is a legit question. Star Wars Standard: TPM AOTC ROTS ANH ESB ROTJ. Hope That Helps. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

No, but there was a consult with Darin who confirmed that my pronunciation was the correct one...as far as he was concerned. | |
