Everyone else's speaking mannerisms make sense. Hers doesn't, since English/Anglo accents are consistently depicted as a mark of nobility or at least the educated (or privileged, like Kenobi). Think Tarkin, Krennic, Palpatine, et al.
So why does Rey speak this way? Nobody on Jakku (that we see) does, and it's never addressed.

She’s obviously born of all those dudes. Every theory is right! 4 men and a reyby.

It's just an classic thing with Mary Sue character writing: in order to distinguish and highlight them they get special attributes, like unrealistically good looks (for a starving scavenger), fashion sense, skills/abilities, character and endearing flaws.
Rey's posh Brit schoolgirl accent is just another means to indicate that she is very special. Normal kids adapt to the language of their surroundings, Rey did not.

I think that even with all they do to Finn’s character, he could have really benefited from getting to keep Boyega’s natural English accent. Anyone else considered how that could shift the viewer’s interpretation of him?

Fun Fact: Every single person in STAR WARS (1977) is British, other than the Big Three, who were cast in Hollywood, and then flown over.

And Disney princesses always be da most well spoken in they'sa universe. Dats just da rules!

I guess it’s common in most female leads in modern cinema.

You're talking about like "Droid, please!" and shit? No, that makes less sense. But his accent is consistent with the same "General American" accents used by Imperials speaking Galactic Basic Standard: ETA: Innit?

I've just assumed that she couldn't hide her accent.

*Uses gravelly voice that makes Batman sound like a falsetto*
That's my 'Merican accent. I believe in God, guns and gasoline.
*Voice reverts to normal*
Oh wait, this thread isn't about me? Never mind.

Ah yes, English accents are a depiction of nobility. No matter what part of London you're from, Maida Vale or the West End, never mind the Imperial guy with a West Country accent, they all have some nobility. You really are a fucking retard, what a sad bunch of losers you are, still crying over this film 3 years later.
