      I suspect he was just trying to be an exotic savage foreigner from the sexy New World ;)

      Cf. Brits in the USA suddenly developing plummier accents and mannerisms because Americans go nuts for that stuff.

      I mean I think the thing is even in the UK, it's obviously not cool anymore to be posh and even Eton boys will try to put a little London street spin on their accent

      I was thinking about this when they were talking about how they made Finn an American and Rey a Brit in Star Wars because John Boyega was the more experienced actor and could fake the accent better

      Daisy Ridley *does* do a different accent as Rey but only in the sense that she speaks "movie RP" (not quite as posh as the Queen, but very "proper") while her everyday accent has a few more glottal stops But I think that's code-switching most Brits of her class do all the time

      Yeah, code-switching is pretty much a necessary skill if you want to get taken even remotely seriously over here.

      One of the things that keeps the traditional working class down is that they often grow up without learning to code-switch the way lower-middle-class kids do.

      I just think it's funny how her accent ended up being a spoiler, like it was a giveaway she had to be descended from Obi-Wan or, as it turns out, from Palpatine Since she had no friends to get the British accent from it must be genetic

      Also they told Boyega he had to be an American because stormtroopers are all Americans because they're based on stereotypes of American cops (like the joke in Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) But then there was a Brit stormtrooper in the last movie anyway

      Oh, I think we all know why they really wanted him to be American.

      Ha ha well it's not because they wanted him to be the protagonist, sigh

          I think I picked up from @Hal_Duncan a joke about stormtroopers being Cockney cops from an old BBC series "Oi, give it up, you Rebel scum, yer nicked"

          (Most of those old cop shows were ITV, not BBC)

          I think they had no clue what they were doing, to be honest. This is the series that had Gwendolyn Cristie and covered her in completely identity concealing armour.
