He was cast for his hulking 6’6” frame, but his West Country accent wasn’t deemed suitable for Darth Vader so the character was dubbed. Not sure about you, but we think a Bristolian accent would be perfect. Say “I’m ur favver” in the most Bristolian accent you can! See?!  : @moodycolin319 | Best of Bristol | Facebook
