On the whole, Lando did have a different accent. It was a subtle difference, but it was there. In general, he spoke as if his mouth was opening slightly horizontally whereas everyone else's opened vertically. For example, he also pronounced Chewbacca "Chew-BÆ-ca" instead of "Chew-bah-ca."Gatx said:I think its weird that no one on the set bothered to correct him. There are realistic reasons for different pronunciations, but they don't really apply here since for everything else Lando has the same "accent" as Luke and Leia. Having separate pronunciations just makes it confusing for the audience.templar1138a said:Accents have been brought up. Here are a few other examples with real names.
Cassandra: Ca-SAN-dra and Ca-SAHN-dra.
Deloris: DEH-lor-is and DAH-lor-is.
Gregory: GREY-GAR-y and GREH-GOR-y.
As for why Han wouldn't correct him, I think most people accept varying pronunciations of their names based on dialect so long as they're not insulting. When I was in France, people pronounced my name with emphasis on a different syllable and made the hard K at the end sound like it would have been spelled as q-u-e in English. However, I accepted it and even pronounced it that way when introducing myself.
Of course, there's the alternate idea that Lando used to mispronounce Han's name in order to annoy him, especially after Han won the Falcon.
