	Just because he says "Powah" instead of puking out half a cafeteria (while chewing excessive amount of gum) every time a word ends in "er", like typical Americans do, doesn't mean he has a British accent. -----signature----- We do what we must Because we can For the good of all of us Except the ones who are dead

	You could generalize my question a little more to ask why his accent changed AT ALL.

	One thing I've been wondering, what sort of British accent do you all mean?

	Not sure if it's a British accent per se, but it's definitely more formal-sounding than plain "Americanized" English. Listen to Princess Leia when she talks to Tarkin for the first time. She has that nobility thing happening. It seems James Earl Jones was toying with that same accent in ANH. -----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

	Yes, the vocoder is a synthesiser built into the mask. That’s what people are hearing rather than Anakin’s real voice.

	So whomever made that suit chose to add an accent to the speech that came from the mask? -----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
