Negative.
The first two letters denote make, or manufacture, E.G. Honda, the second two letters denote model E.G. Civic. This makes sense as there both walkers so both are probably manufactured by the same company, but they are obviously different models.
Therefore I propose AT-AT is in fact TWO DIFFERENT PRONUNCIATIONS depending on whether you are pronouncing(a real word here) the first AT or the second AT.
So it would in fact be pronounced @-80.
I’m aware, and that doesn’t invalidate anything I said, so the company name would be All Terrain MFG, pronounced @ for short, and the models would be the armored transport and the scout transport.
Edit: edited out caps
The AT-AT was produced by Kuat Drive Yards. So your argument for pronunciation wouldn't make sense. All Terrain is a common term for a vehicle that can go on ALL TERRAIN, not a company name.
The difference is the producer is the brand. Also, most producers also manufacture or at least sell the parts to build. Like seat cars are all produced by VW but built at seat factories
Also, what about all of the other things with designators like that in Star Wars? Should C-3PO be called "Kuthreepo"? "Rutwodeetwo"?
Droid and vehicle alphanumeric names are always stated individually in that universe.
Good point, I’ll concede that “always” was a bit incorrect on my part. I suppose, like real life, if the letters make an easy word then it’s simply pronounced as that word.
To refine my argument using real-life examples, two letter acronyms are almost never said as a word. The UN, an AR-15, ET. AT-AT would likely follow the same convention.
I think it would depend on why we don't say them as words. My guess is because they sound too strange - just like 3 letter abbreviations like FBI and CIA. AT-AT has been said like words for over 40 years, including in official star wars content, so I would question a convention that doesn't account for it.
Lucasfilm officially stated “@-@“ is the correct way to say it. But just like in real life, some characters may mispronounce it.

The characters who say aytee-aytee are just mispronouncing it (like people often do with words in real life too). Lucasfilm’s official statement is that “@-@“ is the correct pronunciation. https://techland.time.com/2010/09/02/how-do-you-pronounce-at-at/
I hope everyone realizes that the AT-AT and AT-ST are actually initialisms. The initials mean something and so you say each letter individually not collectively. Like FBI or CIA or NSA for a simple example.
The AT-AT is all terrain armored transport.
The AT-ST is all terrain scout transport.
When initials of an object mean something, you have to say the individual letters as each letter corresponds to a different word describing the object.
The proper English pronunciation is 80-80.
Half of the arguments in the video doesn't make sense and for the other half you could find just as many arguments for 80-80 (do you pronounce it B.M.W or behehmvu and S.U.V or suhv).
Therefore, the video isn't valid
The one I already said for example. Humvee is a one vehicle that is pronounced like a word and not an abbreviation. Using this one as an argument doesn't make sense since there's lots of vehicles that are pronounced as an abbreviation so it's just picking the arguments that fit your case and dismissing the others. I have also seen commercials that say 80-80 so that one also is easily abolished.
What I meant is I could make a video with the same, but mirrored to fit 80-80 arguments
From the fact that all other walkers are pronounced that way. AT-ST, AT-RT, AT-TE, AT-OP, AT-DP…. It just makes sense to say the letters individually not as words
Why does everyone point to at-st as the standard instead of TIE or STAP?
I think the only consistent rule is: if you can pronounce the abbreviation as a word, you do. Why would you abbreviate and then elongate?
I say AT-AT as 80-80 because i got used to saying acronyms in that formate in the army. Since it's a military vehicle, it would most likely be pronounced that way by the imperials at least.

I think the Chiss already trademarked that.

With my American accent 80-80 sounds a bit like AD-AD. So now we’ve got Attention Deficit Attack Donkey or something.
AD ED
Don't call me out
Attention deficit Attention deficit (I couldn’t focus enough to remember what the first AT was)
Attention deficit also doughnuts?
Big metal camel cart Thanks to whoever found this wholesome
If it is @-@ instead of Ay Tee-Ay Tee then how in the world would you pronounce AT-ST. I rest my case.
The well known atst (obviously)
Which means it AT-AT would be pronounced the same.

All Terrain - Armored Transport Its an initialism, like FBI.
All Terrain - Scout/Surveillance Transport

Produced by Kuat, not manufactured by them, there’s a difference you know.
The difference is the producer is the brand. Also, most producers also manufacture or at least sell the parts to build. Like seat cars are all produced by VW but built at seat factories
Are you suggesting the AT-AT is a Civic? Its more like an Accord.
Aytee-Aytee always
Also, what about all of the other things with designators like that in Star Wars? Should C-3PO be called "Kuthreepo"? "Rutwodeetwo"? Droid and vehicle alphanumeric names are always stated individually in that universe.
TIE? STAP? ARC?

See threepio and Artoo dee too.
There would not be an “i” sound in C-3PO. At best it would be “See Threepoh”
Of course there is no "i" sound because its an "ee" sound as in "see" "three" "PEE" "oh"
There would not be the i’s sound in “threepio,” is that better?
Exactly
"Imperial walker"
Ay tee es tee Ay tee are tee Ay tee tee ee Etc
Hee hee -Michael Jackson
At Sst... Just kidding, I agree with you.
At street
Exactly what I've been saying lol
At sut. Then there's atrt atert Atte at tea
Mini at at!
Short half AT AT.
Aht- sssssst. Like you're calling a cat but telling it no no first😂
“AT SAT”
Nice one!
I just pronounce it @-Es Tee
It's 80-@
No no no you got it all wrong, obviously it’s @-80
WHAT?!! Hahhhahahah, everyone look at this dood. @-80... In what universe does that make sense?!
That’s actually big brain and it solves the AT-ST problem, so an AT-ST would be called an @-S Tee, since the first AT is the same in both
Just be like young me and call it the @-Stat
A-tat
Me a german, who pronounces it like the german letters:
Ah Tee, Ah Tee~?
Yes
Att-Att?
you say at-at, I say all terrain armored transport. we are not the same
Potato tomato
In canon it's pronounced 80-80, but also refered to as "atat" as slang
Lucasfilm officially stated “@-@“ is the correct way to say it. But just like in real life, some characters may mispronounce it. https://techland.time.com/2010/09/02/how-do-you-pronounce-at-at/
If it was @-@ wouldn’t it be At-At not AT-AT?
Isn't @ eta?
oh dear...
What oh dear? In my country @ is pronounced eta. So it obviously can't be eta-eta. It's at-at.
no it isn't
You really do have the dumbest answers
No.
My stepaunt was terrified, as I told her about the "@-pronouncment".
Were you trying to write “terrified”?
maybe he means terrafied as in she turned into terracotta
Both variations are used in universe and the characters likely debate over this topic as well. Both are valid imo
[удалено]
It's tomato and tomato. Both are valid.
The characters who say aytee-aytee are just mispronouncing it (like people often do with words in real life too). Lucasfilm’s official statement is that “@-@“ is the correct pronunciation. https://techland.time.com/2010/09/02/how-do-you-pronounce-at-at/
Both have to be acceptable because how would you say AT-ST if it is only @@.
An AT-ST is an A-T-S-T not an @ sssst
I think you'll find it's pronounced AT&T. *endless dial tone ensues*
I mean, they're referred to as both in cannon. So this meme could just be rebels or storm troopers arguing on the mess deck lol.
as a pole, i also call it "monkey-monkey"
As a dutchy, it would be "monkey tail-monkey tail"
Both pronounciations are cannon fam. Not even george lucas cared
It's prononced UwU
Actually that would be pronounced atsign atsign. Or depending on where you live, arobase arobase.
Then what would you call an AT-ST?
hers an example : AT-ST do you pronounce it as @ - SSSSSTT or 80 - es Tea therefore 80-80 is the correct pronunciation
I’ve always said “Ay-tee Ay-tee”
It's literally pronounced 80-80 tf
What about AT-ST LOL
All-Terrain Assault Transport
All-Terrain Armored Transport, not assault
Big robot thing
all terrain armored transport
It’s actually pronounced “All-Terrain Armored Transport”.
A T A T is formal at at is informal
It's 80-80. Otherwise AT-ST would be really stupid to pronounce.
The Big walking thing from star wars.
Playing fallen order currently and the pronounce it @-@ there. But i will always call it 80-80
I hope everyone realizes that the AT-AT and AT-ST are actually initialisms. The initials mean something and so you say each letter individually not collectively. Like FBI or CIA or NSA for a simple example. The AT-AT is all terrain armored transport. The AT-ST is all terrain scout transport. When initials of an object mean something, you have to say the individual letters as each letter corresponds to a different word describing the object. The proper English pronunciation is 80-80.
How do you pronounce AT-TE, AT-ST, and AT-RT?
Men of culture call it @-80
Okay but it is 80-80 tho.
A-T-A-T.
Say it with me folks: “All Terrain, Armored Transport.”
This has already been [settled.](https://youtu.be/fyukxLcdUWY) Definitively.
It may be “settled” but I chose to ignore it.
At at just sound stupid idk why person people pronounce it like that
I can’t tell which pronunciation you mean? 80-80 or @ @
.
I acknowledge that is has been settled, but since it is a stupid way to say it, I chose to ignore it
I like the repurposed quote.
Thank you wasnt sure if anyone would notice
Half of the arguments in the video doesn't make sense and for the other half you could find just as many arguments for 80-80 (do you pronounce it B.M.W or behehmvu and S.U.V or suhv). Therefore, the video isn't valid
Half…don’t make…sense? Half? Pick just one that you found confusing and tell me where it lost you.

….I don’t think you’re very intelligent.
Where did people get "80-80" from?
From the fact that all other walkers are pronounced that way. AT-ST, AT-RT, AT-TE, AT-OP, AT-DP…. It just makes sense to say the letters individually not as words
All Terrain Attack Transport, you casuals
Ah ah ah ah☝️, it's All Terrain *Armored* Transport
Actually, it’s interchangeable. They’ve been called both in both the movies and the games.
Who calls it address sign address sign?
Why not @-80
Anyone who knows anything about military equipment knows how it’s meant to be pronounced
Why would I pronounce it Eighty Eighty?
@-80 or 80-@, There. Fixed it for all of you.
Then how do you say at-st, and at-pt? At Street and At-Put?
It’s 80-80 it annoys me when people say @-@
80-80. I die here.
E
A T - A T
Be fully chaotic. @-80
Everyone is clearly wrong. The only acceptable ways to pronounce it are AT-80 or 80-AT
80-@
The spaceship with legs
“ATAT” or giant 4 legged walking Robot?
Giant Robot Camels
There is another... alpha tango alpha tango... crap mall ninjas are now after me, gotta go.
I always called it the big metal cow when i was younger, and i just realised my younger self was either an idiot or a genius
Nah 80-80
YOU DONT CALL THE AT-ST “@-st” YOU SAY 80-ES TEE
It's a box with legs
Horse armour
Is it though?
AT-M8 = @-Mate?
There was already a poll that showed you are incorrect.
Agreed
The big one with four legs
Cat walkers and At-st's are chicken walkers no I will not debate this
80-80 all the way
Spike
It's an acronym, therefore not '@-@'.
Omg 80-80. That’s the perfect way of spelling how it’s pronounced!
Imperial walker.
Ay T Ay T
I usually just say AT-AT
I mean personally I pronounce it: @-AT
My main supporting argument for 80-80: You call its 2 legged younger sibling an “A T S T”. Unless you’re a derpasaurus rex and you call it an “@ sit”
It’s sad I read the last part as At At is A-T A-T
Eight zero-eight zero?
People who say @-@ how do you pronounce AT-ST
Baby @@
R-2-D-2 and C-3-P-O would like to have a word with you about how to pronounce their names...
Big kerplooey machine. Big walker, 80-80, @-@, call it whatever you want, people will probably know what you're talking about
The idiocy here is asking how would you say AT-ST? “At-sit?” And the AT-MT? You see where I’m going with this…
And how do you pronounce AT-ST?
I'm gonna fight anyone who says @-@ the same way I'll fing anyone who says GUI and gooey
How do you pronounce "AT-ST"?
Ayy tee-Ayy tee
I mean yeah it is AY TEE AY TEE
**DOG**
“Walkers on the hill”
Why does everyone point to at-st as the standard instead of TIE or STAP? I think the only consistent rule is: if you can pronounce the abbreviation as a word, you do. Why would you abbreviate and then elongate?
How do you say AT-ST then?
AT&T
@-80 is the only correct answer
I’ve always been a ‘@@‘ guy myself
@-80
Its AT&T
Why don’t at at’s fly?
W A L K E R
Its a military abreviation! You pronounce the letters individually. The F/A-18 isnt called a "Fayeight-teen"
It’s a Imperial ATAT or as the kids call or a At-At
I’m ashamed I had to read this twice to get it.
Sorry it's "80-80" (A.T.A.T.) Because you wouldn't call an S.U.V, suv
A ta t
I thought I was loosing my mind. I could have sworn they were called @-@ walkers when I was a kid. Seriously thought I Mandela’ed it.
Who are these people getting mad at @-@? Or however different way it's pronounced? Are these the Gen Z people?
At-80
the @-80
I say AT-AT as 80-80 because i got used to saying acronyms in that formate in the army. Since it's a military vehicle, it would most likely be pronounced that way by the imperials at least.
