Now here's the clip from SWI66S original video, "The Romance of the Prequels Is Good, Actually." Notice the difference? He cuts from the Wikipedia page to stills of cartoon characters that visually match each syllable of his mispronunciation. Timestamp is 1:54. youtu.be/4hhfEzgfvZ8?...

Stoklasa didn't just misunderstand that SWI66S was doing the same bit as him. He altered the onscreen footage to remove the visuals that would help signal to the viewer that SWI66S was mispronouncing it on purpose for comedy.

So I actually don't blame Ant for missing the context that made it harder to tell this part was a joke. Stoklasa deliberately made it more difficult for Ant and anyone else in the audience to figure that out.

And honestly, I find that pathetic. I already don't think highly of Stoklasa, but deliberately altering someone else's video like this just to make their defense of the prequels seem slightly less credible is a new low for him.
