    Oh, it's canon. Merei has a Core Worlds accent.

    Liverpudlian is the adjective, and no, she does not.

    The ESB MG book describes Threepio as sounding like a British butler. All we need, then, is for his accent to be identified as Core World and we've got it.

    :p

    Oh, so the ESB book is canon now? Excuse me, I have to go hand out cyanide pills to the wook admins.

    No, I wouldn't call that canon. It's more artistic license. Don't go making Wook pages now.

    I still don't understand how anyone allowed that to actually be published, but it's funny, at least. :p

    Well of course the canon has a planet Britain.

    It only voted to leave the EU.

    You missed a joke here that had nothing to do with race. I think.

    Can we post more pictures of Idris Elba?

    Can we get him in Star Wars to play Talon Karrde?

    Please?

    No, the Brexit joke was in service of the conversation re: race, accents, and Europe.

    As much as I like Luke, I find that more disturbing than sexy. I wish more people had the same reaction to slave Leia.

    There was a big dustup a few years ago because Disney officially agrees with you and pulled slave Leia merch, and no one could get it through their heads why.

    While I don't particularly mind others wearing the outfit, the first time I saw Leia in that position was...pretty gross. Seriously, being Jabba's sex slave is the stuff of nightmares.

    I have no idea, to my understanding what you call Latinos and Hispanics (no matter their skin colour) is considered PoC but at the same time it seems that all Europeans are considered white, but I am not certain. That's why I ask.
