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 remember reading in one of the SW "making of" books that she attended acting school in London, so she sometimes had a bit of a British accent when acting.

Interesting! Boy, that sure went out the window when she yelled "into the garbage chute, flyboy!" :D
