It is by no accident that Luke Skywalker lives on Tatahouine.
Lucas borrowed the name from that town because they shot the Tatahouine
scenes near there. So, I would suspect that the pronounciation in the movie
would be very close to the actual pronounciation if not exact.You are quite right Mark. That is where a lot of the
exterior scenes of the Star Wars movies were filmed. It is really a small
dusty market town, but it has a very nice hotel with a swimming pool! If
you want to see a picture I took there a few years ago, go

As for the pronounciation, I think I will go with the
simplest: TA TA WEEN
, all syllables pretty much equal.Anne BlackIMCA
