(I would know, I live in Britain!) To hear the most diverse range of accents possible in a day, spend 24 hrs in Trafalgar Square!! PS: I say rsterling old chap, we don't all talk like that old bean... Just popped in for a Buchers, fancy a rosie lee? Just sit down at the Aunt Mable, and I'll pour you a cuppa.

Just sit down at the Aunt Mable, and I'll pour you a cuppa. You don't? Do you also not all wear bowler hats and a pin striped suit while carrying a copy of the Times under one arm with a long unopen umbrella in your other hand after you've had fish and chips for lunch while on your way to play cricket before tea time? Not that I'm stereotyping or anything.
rsterling78 posted: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.
darthhelinith posted:Well, we all think that Americans go around with large cigars, dressed up as cowboys or baseball players. Oh, and that most of them only exist for baseball/american football/basket ball. And they all own 5 cars. Also, every single American has been to at least one convention of some sort. (we don't really have those over here- at least, not on the same scale ) Is that wrong?

LawJedi posted: The same reason Madonna developed a British accent: power, corruption, and tons of plastic surgery.
morpha2 posted:He has a hint of British-ness in ANH. So does Princess Leia. I'd say their characters just weren't quite nailed down at that point.
