I forget: Does "Han" very in pronunciation onscreen, or only off?

It does vary onscreen. In ESB, Lando tends to pronounce it like "hand" without the D, rather than "hawn." Then 3p0 picks up the variant pronunciation when Lando is being strangled.

Ah, that's exactly what I was thinking of! Good ol' Lando...

Gungans ("Goongas")

This one gets me every time.  Goongas sounds nothing like Gungans.

In all fairness, if you drop the second n and pronounce the u with a long u sound, you get "Goongas". Given that he pronounces Naboo with a long a and Hoth with a long o, it's actually pretty consistent.
