re: Episode VIII question

Did he send her off to a British boarding school in Lincolnshire on earth which is why she has an accent while he flew off to Ahch-To?

There has to be a backstory of her upbringing around someone with a British accent otherwise the story is bullshitee...you talk based on who raised you and where you grew up.

Did you ever consider that she may not be the one with a different accent? The only other human we hear speak on Jakku is Lor San Tekka. His accent isn't as thick as some of the others we've heard elsewhere (he's Swedish), but it definitely favors a British sounding accent.

This could mean that humans on Jakku sound this way in general, and/or it could mean that Rey and Lor San Tekka have a history together.
