I see you've at least learned one lesson from your temp ban. Well done.

I suppose the question is WHY did Lucas give the Nemoidians Asian accents? Did he think they sounded cool? Menacing? Did one of his kids suggest it?*

Or did one of the actors do it as a joke and he made them reshoot all their scenes because he liked it so much?

I was banned for indirectly calling M3mma a "dunce", if you recall. You've seen me posting stupid images with worthless excuse commentaries already in the first days of my time here, so what lesson have I "learned", exactly?

At any rate, it could be any of the above - all I know is, I can somewhat chuckle at the goofiness of it, but ultimately, I find the Neimoidians with their inept botox faces and silly accents much more annoying than amusing, and that's what counts for me.

It might've been a homage to some old camp movie Lucas enjoyed, that had sleazy Asian villains in it. Anything.

They speak in French accent in the German version, which fits just as "well" (now they're sleazy Euro trash, and their pissy, prissy attitude fits the stereotype, too), but I prefer SpongeBob.
