So for many years now it has been primarily thought that the main way of telling whether someone is good or evil in Star Wars is the color if thier saber.  Red is bad, anything else is good.

I however believe that after playing myself some KOTOR, and reflecting back on the films, have a different answer.  One far more comprehensive.

The accent.

Nearly every evil imperial out there, or for that matter, nearly everyone who is evil period, happens to conveniently possess hints of an english accent.

I believe with this view in mind it will be easier for first time watchers to understand the Star Wars universe.  Perhaps a new slogan "Shoot the brits!" would also be in order.

Which was, of course, originally due to the fact that most of Episode IV was filmed in London - so all the extras were British. After that it sort of stuck - even for things that don't require a filming location Razz

Though Episode 2 had a lot of Australians/Kiwis in it. Wink

Jango's a Kiwi, Owen is an Aussie, and Typho is a Kiwi as well I think (his son actually was in my year at my old school. Too bad he was a total dick. Would have been cool being friends with someone who's Dad was in Star Wars)

I'm thinking he filmed it in London on purpose, perhaps George knows something that us Americans are not privy to!  Perhaps this is the only way he can break through the silence being imposed by his evil captors!

I believe a necro post is in order here as this is clearly a Homeland Security Issue.  Something must be done immediately!

I believe a necro post was not in order, and unless I'm missing the point here, that was just meaningless spam.

Watch it.

A necropost was indeed in order.  The english are a very concievable threat and should be dealt with in a timely matter.

After further review of the Original Trilogy I would indeed say we are in for a rough night. If the British power goes unchecked it will soon devour all that we know and hold dear

It gets a bit confusing though with some Imperial Officers being American, and some Rebels being British.
