I have made an observation watching the marathon this weekend.
Why do humans in the evil Empire all have a british accent?
Did Lucas do this on purpose?

I fuking knew it!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/...ism/id/1414335In the first three released Star Wars movies, almost all members of the Empire are portrayed as white British males speaking with a Received Pronunciation accent. This was done for both logistical reasons (much of the filming was done in Britain), and for dramatic reasons (as attested to by director Irvin Kershner, who even overdubbed a rebel who was played by a British actor to fit with this scheme)................When shown on screen to American audiences, this polarity of accents and ideals between a mighty empire and a determined group of rebels reflects past American history, specifically the Revolutionary War.Comment

Ford plainly couldn't be bothered. Carrie Fisher was coked up to insensibility. Mark Hamill was just Mark Hamill.
For not much money, they could hire seasoned Brit pros- and that's why you had Peter Cushing effortlessly stealing scenes in the first film.The genesis of the "evil Finn" concept- Evil, evil FinlandComment

Brits were either villains or gay robots. Also, Family Guy outed Ben Kenobi as a pedophile, but anyone from this forum could tell you that.Originally posted by Bugs ****ing Bunny View PostAnd another thing-
