We pay tribute to James Earl Jones upon hearing the news that he has retired from voicing Darth Vader in this week’s coverage of Star Wars news.
One of the most iconic aspects of Darth Vader in Star Wars has been his voice. This past week, Star Wars fans learned that the man behind the voice, James Earl Jones, was retiring from the role. However, that doesn’t mean you won’t hear his voice in projects featuring Darth Vader in the future. On this episode of Podcast Stardust, we celebrate the career of James Earl Jones and share some of our favorite Darth Vader lines.
In this fully armed and operational episode of Podcast Stardust, we discuss:
- The announcement that James Earl Jones retired from voicing Darth Vader,
- How there was little to no coverage of the use of his voice in Obi-Wan Kenobi: A Jedi’s Return,
- Our favorite Darth Vader lines voiced by James Earl Jones,
- Some of our favorite non-Star Wars roles that James Earl Jones performed, and
- An excerpt from The High Republic: Path of Deceit.
