The Asian accents the Nemoidians have (one of the many controversial aspects) I actually dig, they remind me of the AIP dubs for the Godzilla movies.

I always found that outrage funny/sad. So I guess everyone in a diverse, alien-filled space population has to talk with a straight, no-accent American English voice? Everyone has to sound the same or it's racism? Is that what they want? Bland non-diversity?

I don't remember seeing any British outrage when all the members of the evil Empire spoke with their accent.

Some of these folks need to find a hobby like stamp collecting or something so they're not bothering the rest of us with their bullshit. =P

...I would agree in so far as that giving aliens Earthly accents is, well, extremely *silly*.

Having everyone talking English is one thing - it's a way to better connect with the audience and just forget about the whole inconvenient diversity thing.

These two things don't seem to make sense together!

Of course, if you want to go full-OT, ANH has Greedo, and the kubaz, and Ponda, and a few others who didn't speak English. Even Jabba was dubbed.
