Then again, the television producers I knew wanted just that.
Do people with southern accents seem weird in oldTrek?

More like the American Revolution.
I would say, either all accents still exist, or none of them do.
Personally, I have always been fascinated by accents. Part of the fun is guessing where someone is from once they start speaking. Admittedly, it also passes the time in boring meetings.
^Yes but as shown above you might develop an accent but not be from that place, you might just have lived there long enough to pick up the accent. For example in the UK someone could have been born in Scotland or Wales but spent most of their lives in England, they might not take kindly to being called English. After all as they weren't born in England they can't be English.
In what way? The Rebellion was about over throwing the Empire, not breaking away from it and forming it's own country.
All I can say is, thank you for the mental image of Picard riding around on a tractor.
Mel Gibson, for example, was born in New York state but lived in Australia from the age of 12, so he picked up the Aussie accent. Now he just sounds like an old Yank.
they sort of had to found their own country and they had different states forming a new union, but a lot of details are thrown out with the EU not existing.
Never read the EU, so to me, if it ain't on the screen it don't mean a thing.
My impression was they were restoring the Republic. They weren't forming a new country but reviving an old one. I'd say they have more in common with the French Revolution than the American Revolution.
We do have a few vineyards in the UK.
There were no blood baths among the rebel leadership like they were during the French Revolution.
Oy vey! SW is not that deep. It's not like it's Star Trek.
It doesn't have to be exactly the same with the names changed to work as a parallel.
The Rebel Alliance wanted to restore democracy against an autocratic regime. (Just in the first movie, the Imperial Senate had been abolished to increaze centralisation into the Empire. Ironically, Tarkin believed it would have been to his advantage because he had the Death Star, but since the Death Star was immediately destroyed, Darth Vader took control of the army.) At least, it could look like France considering they're now having their Fitht Republic. Sorry, but Star Wars doesn't really look like American Revolution, it's even closer to the "Glorious" Revolution. :P

Singing along to the Wurzels. You're welcome.
I'd rather see him as Jean-Luc Clampett, actually.
John Luke Clampett.
It's gibberish now. I had to make a quick trip to Wikipedia to figure out what you were talking about.Vocabulary, on the other hand, will change, I have no doubt. Heck, I think fairly regularly now about how much of what I hear of a day would have been half-gibberish just 20 years ago. "She instagrammed herself twerking and it was in my facebook feed." WHAT?
I agree. Just because you are raised in one place, speaking the same way everyone around you speaks, should not stereotype anyone.
And, the Universal Translator should (theoretically) make everyone sound the same.
