    I'm curious how the majority pronounce the name of the planet. We hear it pronounced three different ways in TFA - this has always been prevalent in Star Wars (Fall-kin vs. Foul-kin, Hon vs. Hann, etc.)

    We should ask the Finns since there is a Jakku in Finland.

    "Jakku" is also a Finnish word that means kind of women's jacket which is part of larger suit "jakkupuku":p . (I'm finnish) Pronounced totally differently than the planet of course.

    In english Jack-oo may be the best way to pronounce it.

    Jack-oo is how Han and Rey pronounce it.
    Juh-koo is how Hux pronounces it.
    Jock-oo is how Finn and Poe pronounce it.

    If you pronounce it in a way that makes other people reply with "gesundheit," you've done it right. ;)
