A note- I've read most of the Star Wars books over the years, new & old, recently including Master & Apprentice. I was fascinated by the description of Rael Aveross as having a "heavy Outer Rim accent", and imagined different flavors of it- to me, the Outer Rim sounds like Shmi (swedish actress) or Jango (new zealand drawl) etc etc....

Only, this week at work I finally listened to Dooku: Jedi Lost, and discovered that Rael fucking Aveross is a Texas hoss wrangler.

Being from the South myself, I already despise badly done southern accents, and his was perhaps the worst I have ever heard. I will never recover.

#star wars #rael averross #dooku: jedi lost #offensive southern stereotypes #lol like really tho that accent would get you punched in the mouth across most of the region #whyyyyyy is it always a terribly mocked up southern drool instead of an actual accent that exists #the pain #he says senator palpatine and man #i can't imagine how ol sidious lived thru a jedi with that atrocity of an accent saying his name and calling him ineffective #that should have been the end of his carefully constructed cover #hick jedi exposes sith in senate: sheev palpatine attempts to murder knight rael aveross for adding syllables to his name #lord deliver me from the evil that is this accent
