Want another fun blast from the past courtesy of the internet archive? Here's a pronunciation guide from the StarWars.com blog circa 2008. Guides like this already existed in a few published reference books. But this was a great sampling of names and things that most commonly posed pronunciation challenges for readers. I still remember the shock of learning how Joruus C'baoth was actually pronounced. And, oh boy, how embarrassing to realize I'd be calling Darth Caedus (pronounced kie-duss) Darth kay-duss.
