Hera's code-switching accent means a lot to me.


If you don't know what code-switching is: https://ift.tt/G3sPioY much more than the title. I'm watching Rebels S2:E16 Homecoming, where Hera sees her dad for the first time in years. They sorta retconned Twi'leks to sound French, and when she is arguing with her dad, she slips back into French instead of what she has most of the show.I felt that at my core; I had the same issues with my family/culture, and moved away and started talking like them instead. I fall back into my "original accent" when I drink too much or am only surrounded by family. This detail is laudable and respectful of everyone who moves between cultures. via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/mAdyOzP
