basada-en-la-esperanza:

Based on a conversation about accents with @cassianandorjyn​, and inspired by Finding Your Voice by @sleepykalena​, I present to you: the K-2SO and Cassian Dream Team That Could Have Been.

2. The Empire is strongly associated with RP British accents.

3. Cassian freed K-2SO from serving the Empire and gave him free will.
