That said, I’m going to have to keep my opinion on the Neimoidians with the guy that lived in Japan for 10 years.
You mean the guy who said they have Japanese accents?
I have never known someone from Japan who learned English as a second language, so I don’t have first hand knowledge, all I have is the stereotype. The argument was whether or not they had stereotypical Asian accents, which I didn’t hear in their accents. He said that the accent in the film sounded more like an actual Japanese accent, and he lived in Japan for 10 years, so I’m inclined to believe his judgement on what it sounds like. Though I still agree with several points from that article, like I said before.
