RIP James Earl Jones

This one is rough. Such a legend. He will be missed. I just hope Disney is respectful with his voice.

My understanding is they have a deal to use his voice via resynthazizer .....

Oh no.... No.....

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Never complained about inclusion.

An Army Ranger.

He was so bad ass that he was Vader and in CTB.

Class act until the end.

Will you look at that Amandla a black actor was Vader, the # 1 villain in cinema history!

Idiot.

93 years old. What a life.

Imagine the era in American history that man grew up in. Imagine all he's seen. As a black man. And then compare that to his accomplishments and how dear he is to so many people of all races across the globe.

The very definition of the American Dream. A class act and a gentleman to the end.

I'm gutted.

So what was his last recorded line as Vader? Him shouting at Obi-Wan after their duel in the OWK series or did he participate in one of those cartoon shows that came out afterward?

Obi-Wan was his last performance.

But he signed the rights to his voice over to Disney so they can use it forever.

Well, I’m certainly not gutted because the dude was 93.

I’ll be lucky if I make it to 63 so I’m just very happy that he gave us Vader.

I had the Old School Sesame Street DVD when my kids were younger, and they would get so shy and stop looking at the TV whenever he smiled doing the count to 10.

Guy was an entertainment legend. RIP.

Is it true he doesn't have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame?

If he doesn't, it was only because he turned it down. Apparently he was an EGOT winner.

 

[Mr. Awesome]

I'm not entirely sure having your name stamped on a Star in the concrete of Hollywood means as much to people of his era in this day and age...

I'd almost consider it an insult. That is not the badge of honor it once was.
