SPECULATION Is Luke Rey's Father? - The Evidence For and Against

I agree, there doesn't need to be an explanation. However, there's going to be a reason she's speaking with that accent. Unless the salvaged computer plays some kind of significant role going forward I doubt that's why the actress was coached. It's a deliberate choice for some reason.

 

why do you think everything needs to be explained? and why would an accent need to be explained... who cares

 

Well, you cared enough to say you don't care. Or something.

 

Yes pointing fingers and calling names is what we'll be doing As my master Sauron said: "I see everything!" You thought those little figures by which we judge other comments were social policing? Then just wait and see what I'll do!

 

Looks like I have a rating troll for my posts.

The filmmakers made a deliberate choice for some reason. I'm not sure why speculating about this decision in a Rey theories thread is so controversial.

 

Again, I don't think her accent was necessarily a deliberate choice nor does the article that @master_shaitan posted a link to qualify as proof she was coached beyond mild tweeking of her normal accent. Also, I don't think this topic is contraversial, I just disagree with you guys.

 

I just don't understand why they would coach someone who already has an English accent if not for some purpose.

From this here site:

I'm still waiting for you cite where you heard the opposite.

 

A simple explanation for Daisy being told to speak with a British accent in TFA is that Rey learned her accent from Unkar Plutt, and Simon Pegg / Unkar Plutt spoke with a British accent. FWIW Pablo Hidalgo agreed that is a plausible explanation.

 

Stop saying 'British Accent'. No such thing exists. Please be more specific. "British Accent" is like saying "Scandanavian Accent." !

Britain is the name of the biggest island of the UK which has three countries on it, England, Wales and Scotland. All three countries have their own accents and dialects, England itself has over 50 very different accents!

There is no such thing as a 'British Accent' !

 

Stop saying 'Southern Accent'. No such thing exists. Please be more specific. "Southern Accent" is like saying "Scandanavian Accent." !

The South is the southeastern US which has 12+ states and over 100 million people. All 12 states have their own accents and dialects, The US itself has over 25 very different accents!

There is no such thing as a 'Southern Accent' !

 

I do agree, as much I don't want to fuel "Rey imperial" or "Rey Random" talk...it seems like Pablo was ribbing him a little bit.


I posted about this in the 3 Planets thread, but it's much better for in here - somebody there said that in the Empires End novel, Leia tells Luke she can sense some darkness in baby Ben...like even before he's born. I was not aware of this!

It opens up the possibility that Rey's Destiny was sensed by someone (good or bad) while she was about to be born, and she was taken. Or hidden.

I won't use that to champion ReySky but I do think that it's relevant and opens up a direct line of thought - she was not just abandoned there on Jakku for no reason. (With the Falcon, with the Map to Luke, etc...)

 

a risk to have a family after learning about the manipulation? or a risk NOT to have a family after learning about the manipulation?

Let's look at things this way..

If the continuation of the Skywalker bloodline is important to Luke, how would he truly react to news that Snoke has been able to attack Leia/Ben in such a way?

would he think "I better not ever have a family then, it's too dangerous"
would he think "If Ben's life goes Piffers up because of Snoke.. the Skywalkers could be no more. I should have a child and hide him/her away from Snoke"

it all comes down to whether or not you think that he would want the Skywalkers to continue in the future. it's all if's and maybe's

 

There is only an 'American' dialect and accent, because yes, only Brits speak proper english!

 

do you reckon anyone said, "hey wait a second, Jyn's father has a different accent than she does! this doesn't make any sense at all!!"

i mean, she was orphaned (practically) at a young age. you'd think she' could've picked up on Saw's accent.

on Daisy being coached to sound a certain type of English, it could have been just to have her sound a bit more like RP and proper. naturally she sounds a lot more conversational and, dare i say, Essex lol

EDIT: listen carefully to Shmi and you'll find she doesn't share the same accent as Anakin. also, Anakin doesn't pick up Obi-Wan's accent despite spending a lot of time with him at a young age, and on Coruscant no less.

the accent argument is finicky. it doesn't always work.
