The worst thing about this is ‘threepio’

Not just 70s and 80s, even 90s and 2000s. I grew up in 2000s thinking it is called Arturito, and I’m sure a lot of people (mostly non fans) think the same.

The worst worst part is that’s actually how it’s spelled in novelizations (or at least how they used to spell it). Artoo-Deetoo and See-Threepio.

I’ve never read a Star Wars book but this makes me unreasonably unset.

I used to have a copy of the original novelization of ANH I could post a picture of that had it but I have no idea what happened to it.

If you ever decide to try it don’t bother with any of them that came out after Disney took over. Almost all of them are trash.

Why?

FBI not eff-bee-eye.
NTP not en-tee-pee.
RNC not arr-en-cee.

Because the only rational reason to spell it Artoo-Detoo and See-Threepio is if they got paid by the word and they wanted to bolster their paycheck? The alternative that they somehow thought this was a good idea is even worse.

I was seven when I learned this and I’ve always hated it.
