Why did JJ make him have an american accent
I see literally no reason why he couldnt just use his natural british accent
>>
>aliens all speak british accent
>let's have this dude also be brit
>>
I'm pretty sure british accent needs to be either villains, wizards or medieval people

Burgers are retarded
>>
African-Americans need someone for self-insertion
>>
>>63911654

Because his stupidity and naiveté of being a brainwashed Stormtrooper wouldn't come across without a stupid American accent.
>>
if you can just learn an accent why arent americans learning to speak like brits so they dont sound like total retards?
>>
Most of the Empire officers have British accents, but the stormtroopers all sound American. Rey having one makes the least sense.

You know what bugged me more? You want a british black man to play a role in a series thats grandiose, and larger that life, and you don't choose Ainsley Harriot? He would've been a fucking superb villain

But Rey keeps her accent.

And Rey will turn evil.

Made absolutely no sense to me either.

Everyone else in the The First Order has a British accent. Rey has a British accent. Why the fuck did Finn have an accent? Just so Boyega could show he can do an American accent and get more work?

hes supposed to be a ridiculous edgelord thats the point

Which one? We have about a hundred.

because he was deliberately cast to draw hoodrats to the movie.

he's jarjar and mace windu rolled into one.

Characters with Brit accents come from the Core worlds. I assume Rey did too before getting dropped on Jakku.

Theres no britfags in that galaxy which is far far away

>>63912674
That's the point. He's basically a 14 year old edgelord. It's even kind of implied that it's a regular occurrence later on, remember when he's doing it again after Rey escapes and the stormtroopers on patrol stay the fuck out of it?
>>
>>63912674
That is what it is scary to modern audiences.

Not a big strong general. An insecure white boy who throws temper tantrums

He is basically a representation of your average school shooter and online troll.

>Rey lives out in the wastes where they have American accents... she has a British one

>Finn is a storm trooper for the Empire/Order and they all have British accents... he gets an American one

I think the real reason is his natural accent wouldn't appeal to the 'Urban' crowd

JJ Abrams is such a fucking racist
>>
>>63914411
>Lister as Han Solo sidekick

Fuck yeah. Cat should be in there too.

Red Dwarf is often overlooked as a reason why it's OK to have black ppl be the main characters in sci-fi. And DS9.

Oh fuck, it'll never happen but imagine if JJ directed a DS9 movie and Boyega played Sisko. That'd be cool.
>>
>>63915585
The real reason is Ridley can't do an American accent so they needed Boyega to counter balance her.
>>
>>63911654
>Why did JJ make him have an american accent
are you really that obtuse?

Finn = 'positive' role model for AFRO-AMERICANS, not Brits... after all, it's not Britain that is steal dealing with the legacy of slavery

Why haven't the SJWs caught on to this bait and switch? Do they seriously think british blacks have anything in common with american niggers?
>>

I thought he'd have a British accent because he was Corascanti or something.
>>
>>63911654
Because amerifats are retarded mouthbreathing racist morons who already couldn't handle a black person on screen. A nigger with a British accent would've made their heads explode.

>>63911654
In SW English accents are for upper class types. Obi Wan, Leia and Tarkin for example.

You do know british blacks are almost as nig as you can get right?
They're pretty much 1st-2nd generation Africans.

it will confuse white american audience because british accent = villain
>>
>>63911654
Know how everyone gives JJ shit for pandering by having a rainbow cast? He's doing it again. How many black Americans can sympathize with a black Brit?
Make him the "American" of the group, have a classy Brit and a Latino and you've got the modern Neapolitan of diversity.

Not the majority, most go to like Florida, the states or Canada for some reason.
Boyegas parents are both from Africa.
