Has it been considered changing Luke's pronunciation of Tatooine at the end? I'm sure Hamill has said it right at some point after countless interviews through the years.

Someone already asked that a couple hundred pages back. I stumbled upon it earlier this morning.

Adywan decided that, just like Han and Leia's names have multiple pronunciations, the planet name may be pronounced differently as well. He said he is leaving it how it is.

And considering that Luke is a native, his pronunciation may actually be correct.

Also that is the first time that it was pronounced on screen. So everyone ELSE has it wrong.

Mind you, Lando's pronunciation of HAN (rhymes with hand instead of gone) is not good. And why does it change from Lee-ah in Star Wars to Lay-ah in ESB? Maybe the director in Star Wars had it different from the writer's original intent? Oh, wait...
