Accents are basically never consistent, ever when they try to be:
So yea, zeets: you're that guy.Like most fantasy television shows, Game of Thrones is largely populated by English actors speaking with English accents. This is because Americans are still unconvinced that England is a real country, and associate English speech patterns with kings and magic and sorcery and frequent stabbings.
But Game of Thrones takes its accents a step further: Its characters speak in several different English accents, and often those accents correspond to to the real-world geography of Britain. Eddard Stark, the Lord of Winterfell and Warden of the North, is played by Sheffield's own Sean Bean, sporting his native northern English accent. Tywin Lannister, Lord of Casterly Rock and Warden of the West, is played with a posh southern accent by the great Charles Dance. And so on.
[So then:]
Why do Ned Stark's kids all have different accents?
Why do all the Baratheons have different accents?
Why does Thoros of Myr have a Westerosi accent?
[...]
"The show has dragons, who cares if the accents don't match?": Well, first of all, I care. Second of all, the cornerstone of science fiction and fantasy fandom is nitpicking. Third of all, the fact that Game of Thrones doesn't take place within our collectively agreed-upon reality doesn't release it from its responsibility to verisimilitude or the maintenance of internal consistency within its own systems.

"For all his tattooings he was on the whole a clean, comely looking cannibal."
Correct, Palpatine manipulated Vader by promising him th epower to save Padme. As we've learned from all forms of Canon, for most force users the more you draw from the dark side the more you succumb to it. It's not true of all force users. But it is normal. That the temptation of dark side powers makes you fall to it. Palpatine then made Vader a suit that caused him great pain, fueling his dark side power while also severely crippling him physically.
Again, you don't know what Snoke told Ben about ANakin. Most likely that he was the most powerful force user but was manipulated by the Jedi Council and Palpatine who manipulated him and limited his potential which was to bring peace to the galaxy and destroy the Sith and Jedi.

Finally saw Rogue One. Kudos to Disney for making a movie where the heel goes over. I've always thought movies should do that.
wonder if Disney has the balls (if it were feasible) to go back and kill off leia in episode 8.

You're assuming they didn't kill her off already.
ANyway I wonder what they will do.

They wouldn't have had a big insurance policy on her if they didn't need her for the movies.
Pretty much. When Han tells Leia that Ben had to much Vader in him. By that statement, and seeing him lash out in Ep 7, I believe Ben is very unstable emotionally. Being unstable is prone to getting twisted just like Anakin did. We also aren't sure if Ben had any kind of force visions of the future or not the way Anakin did.
It's an interesting contrast to Vader how until the end the dark side had too much of a hold on him even if he wanted to come back. Ben fully embraces the dark side and hates trying to be pulled to the light.
Correct and that's probably due to Snoke's manipulation. Anakin was masterfully manipulated and the ****ty Jedi COuncil and Palpatine. If the council was ran in such a way that didn't basically force Anakin to the dark side (could list the numerous things) he wouldn't have left. He was so dedicated to what he believed the Jedi were supposed to believe.

I don't think you do. Or you haven't thought about it enough. You can take the opinion that MacGuffins don't exist, but the force has literally been on in every OT film.
Ep 4 - the force allows luke to guide a torpedo into the death star exhaust
Ep 5 - The force allows Luke to communicate to Leia someone who's never been force trained, to save him from falling to his death
Ep 6 - The internal force in ANakin switches from Dark to Light at the moment when Palpatine is at his most vulnerable allowing for Vader to kill him. There's another one in it but it's not coming to me yet.
Ep 7 - Rey happens to come into the usage of the force in her most dire needs
Rogue One - Donnie Yen's character is strolling across a battlefield stopping the best of the best storm troopers from missing him despite all of their fire aiming at them, and when he completes his task he's gunned down immediately.
And no spoiler wraps because at this point the movie's been out long enough anyone should have seen it.
