"What will your world be, without me..."

My bad, should be: January 17, 1931

Everyone will talk about Vader and Mufasa, but the first thing I thought of was

Ray, people will come Ray. They'll come to Iowa for reasons they can't even fathom. They'll turn up your driveway not knowing for sure why they're doing it. They'll arrive at your door as innocent as children, longing for the past.

Shame and as a side note there is no way in hell I will pay for James Earl Jones' voice as Darth Vader with that Deep Fake AI voice they created with his consent. Let someone else do the voice and let us not have DEAD voices, voicing VA's in perpetuity.

Coming here to share my favorite from him was from Conan, but I see OP has beat me to it. My favorite scene is this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgN1sLcAQnw

As someone from Mississippi, it broke my heart to hear him pass. Like I lost something precious and I'll just have to get over it...

...

Loved his acting and he seemed like a lovely person outside of acting as well. RIP James Earl Jones.

Thulsa Doom: "I see you. I have watched you. For a thousand years, I have watched you. Who among you still fears death? Who will not face emptiness?"

Thank you for the magic moments Mr. Jones.

One of the few actors I'm going to miss. May he rest in peace.

I'd be more on-board for post-mortem voice acting if it was for independent projects, but Disney is a sickening antithesis to every ounce of worth the technology could have.

Personally, Star Wars is probably the first thing I think of for the man but next is probably his guest appearance in Frasier. Rest in peace.

That's still unnecessary considering that there's plenty of perfectly good and available actors out there. It's not like they have used James Earl Jones and only him for the character. There's little kid Darth Vader, young guy Darth Vader. There's also Lego Darth Vader (not JEJ) and radio drama Darth Vader (also someone else.) Darth Vader also ran for mayor in a city in Ukraine, which isn't a joke because that was the guy's actual name,


Also major spoilers below....











Darth Vadar dies in Return of the Jedi.
This is why we got Kylo Ren in The Force Awakens and not more Vadar Time.

Rip in pepperoni, oh King of Zamunda

*tries hard to stifle a quick chuckle*

I must admit I thought he died already ages ago, like early 2000s or something. I guess this was a bittersweet surprise, I learn that he wasn't dead after all, when he died for real. It is like losing your father twice (Luke knows what I'm talking about).

I admit I did sometimes wonder "wow they get that Vader voice still right, even without James doing it. Very convincing, almost like James did it himself". This explains it then I guess.

RIP James. This time for real.

Also back in 2015, a statue of Lenin in Ukraine was replaced with Darth Vader... who also gives people free wifi.

Another promising up-and-comer gone too soon. :.(
