Country: | Well it can't be any worse than some of the English-Canadian guys I've heard speaking French. Did you ever watch the parliamentary debates on TV? 
Besides, there are some strange accents around these parts, and English is our native language. 
By the way, Scottish people are British, along with the English and Welsh.  | |

Country: | Obi-Wan Kenobi allowed Darth Vader to free his spirit from his body because he wanted to help Luke further his training, and become the one who will bring balance to the force....
Darth Vader DID NOT kill Obi-Wan... His body became one with the force, something he learned while languishing in the Tattoine Desert...
I saw the movie on opening night, May 19th... Twice..... I watched the 4:30 showing, then walked around the corner and caught the 7:00 show..... It was freakin awesome.........
I have waited 28 years for this movie, and it was all that I had hoped for... Yes some of the last parts were alittle rushed, but it was acceptable, seeing how we already knew so much about Luke and Leia's life, and the rest of the Saga of Star Wars....
I found Anakins slide into the Dark Side to be riviting, and i have to say that if Ian McDermid (?) doesnt get some sort of award for his acting in this, the Oscar people can kiss my ass.......... He was great, and definatly stole this movie.... Pure Evil.......
"UNLIMITED POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
I will see this again in the theatre before it goes to DVD.... And BTW, the DVD is scheduled for release Nov 17th I believe..........
And for the record, I SPOTTED THE MILLENIUM FALCON IN THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could tell u when and where, but IG-88 would assassinate me on the spot...........

Country: | The Falcon, eh? Damn, I missed that one. 
Oh well. I also plan to get the DVD, so I'll have lots of time to find it. I may even see it again beforehand, with my father. He's a big fan too.  | |

But tell me, did you read that in one of the many Star Wars novels or is it your personnal understanding of the movie ? | |

The weirdest English accent I ever heard is the ex-boxer Dave Hilton. Man, that guy is unbelievable. You never know if he is speaking French or English. I'm not kidding, recently a repporter interviewed him in prison. He was speaking FRENCH but we needed the subtitles to know what he was talking about.
However, his daughter (Jenny Hilton) got a nice accent. | |

Heh heh heh, you're gonna struggle if you come over here! Some of the accents are so pronounced that British people have a job understanding them!
One of my Grandmothers lived to 94, and spent her entire life in the North West and spoke in a heavy East Lancashire dialect. I could understand her, and Plan D probably would - anyone from across the pond - no way.
People from Liverpool and Newcastle (Scousers and Geordies) have unique accents, as do people from Birmingham (Brummies)
This is not a very good list, but might give you a rough idea http://www.bbc.co.uk/voices/ | |
