  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.

      FBI not eff-bee-eye.

      NTP not en-tee-pee.

      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’m pretty sure it was so they would look more like real names, because Star Wars treated robots (droids) like actual characters which was rare at the time.

        Threepio and theee-pee-oh sound different so I understand it in a script. That’s it though.

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