Gungi! It's even mentioned in TCW series and Bad Batch that, while incredibly rare, there have been several accounts of Wookie force users through the millenia. Would love to see a series set 100yrs or so after the OT of Gungi helping to re-establish or expand a new galactic Jedi Order as a threat from the Void threatens the stability of the galaxy - with the wisdom of Yoda but without the complacency due to his experience coming of age in TCW and the Galactic Civil War

Both, I would think, but I'm not a linguist haha. Overall, American accents were different when he grew up and lived as opposed to now, like you mentioned. He was also given a "gentleman's education" after being orphaned as a kid, so I'm sure that helped curate how he spoke (especially drunk and during his first public speech lol). But when this was recorded, he had already lived in England for 15 years - so he naturally picked up some of the accent.

For context, George Edward Gouraud was a Union American Civil War Medal of Honor Recipient who moved to England expand the Edison Telegraph system, and later on to expand the availability of the Edison Phonograph. This recording was to show off what the phonograph could do for the British Post (hence the Postmaster General in attendance), and consequently made him famous.

I didn't say they are experiencing these slowdowns because of abatement policies, like you said with shark attacks and ice cream. Read my edit. I think I'm being misunderstood, and I don't think I clearly communicated what I was trying to. Your second paragraph literally summarized what I was trying to convey, which I thought I did in the tldr, but I'm better at numbers and graphs than I am with words lol.

 

I fucking hate how accurate it is lol
