James Earl Jones has officially retired from voicing Darth Vader.
91-year-old actor James Earl Jones has voiced the iconic villain Darth Vader for over 40 years, and now he is stepping away from the character. While Star Wars fans are accustomed to seeing digitally de-aged characters like Mark Hamill in The Book of Boba Fett now is the time for the voices of some legacy actors to be digitally recreated via A.I.
Darth Vader had a substantial part in Disney+'s Obi-Wan Kenobi series, and fans noticed his voice sounded considerably different in the series. That is because Lucasfilm brought in a Ukraine-based company called Respeecher to reconstruct new Vader dialogue for the series. The company previously worked with the studio for Luke Skywalker's voice in The Book of Boba Fett, however, the ongoing war severely made matters worse when it came to Obi-Wan Kenobi.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY On the receiving end was Lucasfilm’s veteran supervising sound editor Matthew Wood, who has worked with Jones a dozen of times in the past decade, including when he last recorded a brief line of dialogue for 2019’s The Rise of Skywalker. He recounts that the actor had “mentioned he was looking into winding down this particular character.” That posed the pertinent question, “So how do we move forward?” Nonetheless, given the access to the A.I.
While many fans had expected Jones to step back from voicing Vader given his age, sadly, we now have confirmation. You can check out our conversation with Ewan McGregor about the Obi-Wan Kenobi series below:
