Where do the Hispanics of Star Wars come from?

British voices have always been the sound of “nobility” or “serious” actors but any other accent is out of place in the story that takes place in a galaxy FAR FAR AWAY.

Why not have amphibian or avian people who people in altered accents? They’d still be non-white/non-European/non-human.

In Star Wars (at least the first one) humans weren’t even the majority.

Billy Dee Williams was asked what about his experiences growing up prepared him for his role in Empire Strikes Back, he said “nothing did”, that this story take place far from earth. He did say that be brought a bit of Errol Flynn suave pirate to the character.

Actually, Star Wars has a habit of using ethnic-sounding accents, but only for alien characters, not for humans.
