One more thing, I never liked the reveal of Vader under the mask in ROTJ. I assumed his voice was affected somewhat by his respiratory machine but even so, a British accent would not disappear.
Umm, I'm pretty sure Shaw spoke with his natural accent in the movie.
But Shaw didn't speak as Vader for the vast majority of the original trilogy. You get used to James Earl Jones' voice, and nothing about it sounds soft and/or British. So when you finally see and hear Vader without the mask it doesn't even feel like this is the same guy that was ruthlessly cutting down rebels. If Lucas was going for a Rorschach-like reveal I guess it's okay, but I assumed that even without the mask Vader would have some bass in his voice. And not sound British.
In the Force Unleashed I like how [spoilers]during the end scene, Vader is talking with his mask off, his suit badly damaged, but it's still in the same JEJ-styled voice. He sees Starkiller's lifeless body on the throne room floor and says "He is dead." [/spoilers]
