Sorry to hear about your poor health, but at the same time, it's great to know that you're still able to keep yourself [extremely] busy with what you love! (I'm actually a little surprised you're able to post here so much. You must be good at tearing yourself away from it.) Your care for these movies really shows in your work. :)

Say, this is a bit off-topic, but I was just wondering if anyone knows why Carrie Fisher adopted a fake accent during her part with Tarkin. It was obviously a conscious decision (if it wasn't, they would've told her to cut it out, no?), so why was it done?


I find myself wanted to talk with a fake accent when I'm talking to people with accents. I always assumed that (a) it was her first scene and she thought she should have a British accent, which they later changed (you'd think they'd fix that in post) or (b) she was in such awe of Peter Cushing that she found herself speaking with his accent.

Come to think of it, she is the only person who talks to Tarkin who is not British. Maybe she was told to fake the accent to Cushing so he would think this was an all-British film?
