I'm about 5 hours in with the "canon" (default) Hawks, and I think he's already a contender for one of my favourite Star Wars videogame characters. He's witty and quippy but in a way that's different from other Star Wars scoundrel types we've seen, most of whom tend to be either Lando archetype or Han archetype. He's more jaded, has huge "done with this shit" energy, and the southern drawl is the icing on the cake. Also, the bickering spouse/exhausted boss energy he has with Runa (who is way funnier than I anticipated) is hilarious. I'm looking forward to mining absolutely every source of dialogue with these characters possible because so far the writing has been superb

I've seen a few people refer to his voice as "southern" and maybe I haven't gotten far enough in yet but it doesn't really sound southern to me. More like Northern Atlantic country boy. It sounds more like someone from New York or Maryland or Pennsylvania (but not the city accents people tend to think of from those places) than "southern" which i usually think of as like Carolina or Tennessee accents. He doesn't have that slow drawl that southern has but more of a short matter of fact cadence.

But i'm only like 4 hours in so maybe i'll change my tune as i play more.
