Personally I can't believe that this is the only answer to this Wiki Question! The question was
" Why does Princess Leia have a British accent at the beginning of Star Wars then American shortly after? "
What I have noticed about this is that it seems to be the best kept secret in history. I have watced all the Star Wars Movies (those being New Hope, Empire and Jedi) about 1000 times in my life and I have alwaysa noticed that when Leiah says "Only you could be so bold " that she is talking with a british accent. Yes Carrie Fisher is an American but also YES she was putting on a british accent (whether or not it was a good one is up to the british). the scene where she puts it on is in the very begning of the star wars trilogy, the third time you see Leiah in a scene when Alderan is about to be destroyed. This was the first scene they filmede with her for star wars and she was meant to put on the accent but it was later decided that it was not right for the story. My theory is that since Luke has an obvious American accent they decided that it would suit her more to have an American accent as well as I thought her british accent was quite good and I'm an American who has lived in the UK for a total of 8 years.
Can we get Carrie's version of history? Carrie, tell us what really happened? If not Carrie, then Luke? Han? George? Anyone???
