	I was curious as to why Anakin's voice went from an American accent to an almost British one after he donned the suit? -----signature----- "I can't abide those Jawas... disgusting creatures"! - C3PO This sig line is [FABULOUSO!] www.outerrimsieges.com "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." -- Carl Sagan

	I thought it was a Sith thing. All the Sith have had that same accent. -----signature----- "I can't abide those Jawas... disgusting creatures"! - C3PO This sig line is [FABULOUSO!] www.outerrimsieges.com "It is far better to grasp the universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring." -- Carl Sagan

	In the GFFA a British accent coincides with a Coruscanti accent. -----signature----- Will do moose stuff for money. Everything tastes better wrapped in bacon, especially bacon 11/20/2008: The day I married the most wonderful woman in the world.

After he donned the suit he didn't sound British. He sounded like a deep-voiced African American male. You know, kind of like James Earl Jones.

	James Earl Jones is doing a "non-regional" American accent in the OT and ROTS. Some of the features of this accent are similar to an upper-class English accent, such as a softening of the "r" at the end of a syllable and clear enunciation. But it is not an English accent. -----signature----- "Chance makes playthings of us all." -- Seneca Shameless non-Manager Emeritus sock of Vortigern99.

	The voice coming out of Vader's mask was not Anakin's. It was an electronically produced voice synthesis. He was basically talking through a speaker-like device, since his lungs and larynx were damaged after the duel. -----signature----- Twenty years ago, there was another Edward with a strange disposition and even stranger hair that the ladies swooned over.

	Anakin/Vader with a British accent, huh? Hmmmm... DARTH SIDIOUS: [Vader's new mechanical body arises from the steam] Lord Vader... can you hear me? DARTH VADER: I say, my good man, I've had a spot of bad luck lately. Waiting for my luck to change, what? I say, old bean, any word from Padme? DARTH SIDIOUS [clearly confused]: It seems in your anger, you killed her. DARTH VADER: Oh, bloody hell. Well, got to keep a stiff upper lip, old chap, you know how it is. Still, chocks away, tally ho and all that.

I am still nto sure when Vaders Voolice is supposed to change to British, although Vader's accent in the OT always seem to be different.

	Actually I think you'll find it's called a "Vocoder", an advanced version of what the Stormtroopers have in their helmets.
