News Obi-Wan Kenobi series premiering on May 27

A friend of mine lived in Australia for two years, working as a nanny. She came back and had an accent.

Kenobi's accent in the PT was described as "Coruscanti" so I imagine him blending in with the locals will be all the explanation really needed.
Yes but in this case it seems that in his older years Kenobi's accent became more "core world/aristocratic" instead of less. It definitely didn't blend in with the way anybody else spoke on Tatooine.

Yeah, those two did occur to me, but I was afraid I might offend any religious people here by referring to biblical characters as fictional. So I decided to just not even go there.
I'm not offended. I think it's hilarious.

And it's an old story trope in human storytelling.

That's a very decent thing of you to do to think of others that way. For my part, I'm old and jaded, and when I think back on some of the psychological abuse I endured for not believing in the indoctrination that was being forced upon me, the less I care about the opinions of such people.

For my part I'm sorry that happened to you.

I'll go one better. I've never lived in America but every time I visit my hometown people ask me "How many years have you been living in America?"

That's fair.

My daughter once watched an Australian broadcast and started talking with it slightly. It was fun.
 
Is Obi-Wan going to battle the Reman?

I'm interested to see why they are bringing back Hayden Christensen. With the kids who watched the prequels now adults the opinion of the prequels, and Christensen's performance, has improved. There is another generation who found his performance disappointing. I'm generalising of course but they didn't need to bring him back.

Capitalizing on prequel fans?

I can understand that, and my opinion used to be not to far off from that, but I've since met some really nice religious people, so I'm a little more respectful towards their beliefs now.
I will confess though, I had some neighbors I hung with as a kid who were really nice, but they were constantly trying to convert me, which did get kind of annoying.

If I watch a lot of British or Australian TV, I will start to talk with a bit of their accents.

They didn't need to do anything.. what's your point? Strange thing to say when we've no idea whatsoever how he's back. Personally hoping for de-aged Clone Wars era flashbacks myself

My point is, I said, that I'm interested to see why they've brought him back. They could have told Darth Vader stories without him. I don't think he was great and therefore don't want to see de-aged Clone Wars era flashbacks. I'd be interested to see Vader under the mask but Christensen wouldn't have been required for this.

I agree. He wasn't under the vader mask in rogue one and it worked superb. The only reason to bring Hayden back is for shots of him unmasked. Vader has to have the mask on at all times so the hayden shots must be pre-suit.

No, they did not, but as you touch on, there's certain members of a younger generation who seem to like Christensen's performance and/or the character. I did not, and found Anakin to be the most annoying PT character of all.
