Alternative to giving him an actual voice, I think it would be interesting to just give him an alien voice or just garbles of sounds, unsubtitled, and have characters reactions clue us in to what he’s saying, like chewbacca.
I second this. An accented JJB would just be cringey imo.
Love the podrace scene btw, perfect length and actual tension at the end. Never thought I’d write that about the Phantom Menace…
