I see that there are a number of different takes on the
possible pronunciations.  The vowel sounds are the most
uncertain.  In my opinion, the only possibilities for the
two "TA"s are:

ta:  rhymes with bat, cat, that
tah: rhymes with la, ma, pa
tuh: rhymes with duh, the

The choice of the pronunciation for the second TA is going
to be more difficult because it is not accented and difficult
to hear.

Hoot and loot rhyme, but soot (which rhymes with foot)
does not.  I'm not clear on whether Tatahouine has three
syllables or four -- four seems awkward.  Is it something
like:

tah-tuh-hween?

As for syllable emphasis, it seems to be similar to Halloween.
