Why did they make Boyega change his accent to an American one but let Daisy keep her British accent?

Why did they make Boyega change his accent to an American one but let Daisy keep her British accent?

pls respond

The same reason Black Panther has rap blaring in the background despite being from Africa.

well on Graham Norton he spoke about this and said JJ didn't like his accent but there was no explanation as to why

The stormtroopers in the OT all spoke with American accents. My guess is that because they're supposed to be faceless grunts, George (and JJ) figured it would be better if the American audience didn't automatically assume they were sophisticated gentlemen under those helmets.

American audiences think a British accent sounds intelligent. It's why they bring in guys on news shows who have British accents. I would guess Finn didn't sound enough like a "regular guy" with his Britbong accent.

They want the "hermione" crowd.

Not kidding. Apparently black people speaking in UK accents freaks out African Americans.

In an interview he said because they felt the English accent didn't feel like Finn

>that English accent you’re doing? Yeah, you don’t look smart enough for that. Sorry bud!

I thought Star Wars wasn’t racist?

you know exactly why

This is probably the best explanation. It also makes him feel very different from Phasma and the rest of the First Order because he has such a "normal guy" voice.

because the Empire is the Americans of Star Wars

>American audiences think a British accent sounds intelligent.
>All of the villains have "British" accents
Americans are literally anti-intellectuals.

Because she's a Kenobi and it will all make sense.

because niggers wouldn't see him as one of "them"

It was probably a personal decision on his part
Plus he actually has talent and acting ability, and is familiar with the American accent = good guy, British accent = wise master or evil guy rules.

The real question is why doesn't he talk like your average 50 IQ nigger

>guy educated by the First Order all his life
speaks like undecated african american from the Bronx. Can't even fly a Cessna.
>girl living on her own since the age of 6 on a desert planet where she can barely feed herself
Speaks like a british duchess, fluent in Wookie and droid language, can fly the most complex ship of the saga

Why is the First Order bad guys for kidnapping children by the millions to be brainwashed into loyal soldiers when the Jedi Order did that for thousands of years?

Wasn't that during the Raimi reshoot?

No shit man, the majority of republicans now think college is a bad thing.

because most of college is a literal marxist indoctrination camp

That's nice dear.
