When I read the news it felt as if a friend died.

That’s very sad news… I got it from you and Warbler at the same time.

May James Earl Jones’ memory be for a blessing and may his family find solace in the numerous people who he’s touched throughout his career.

I’m just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe.

Star Wars has 3 eras: The eras are 1977-1983(pre Expanded Universe), (1983-2014) expanded universe, or (2014- now) Disney-bought version. Each are valid.

One of the most iconic voices in movie history.

First Dave Prowse died, and now James Earl Jones. It is truly the end of an era. For me Darth Vader is gone.

All things do end, but I feel sad anyway.

James Earl Jones is one of my favourite actors, and not just for his work in Star Wars. RIP

“The Anarchists are right in everything; in the negation of the existing order and in the assertion that, without Authority there could not be worse violence than that of Authority under existing conditions. They are mistaken only in thinking that anarchy can be instituted by a violent revolution… There can be only one permanent revolution — a moral one: the regeneration of the inner man. How is this revolution to take place? Nobody knows how it will take place in humanity, but every man feels it clearly in himself. And yet in our world everybody thinks of changing humanity, and nobody thinks of changing himself.”

― Leo Tolstoy

Star Wars teaches us that death is not the end it’s just a different journey. As much as I dislike the PT Hayden is still carrying the torch for the character. Weird as it is JEJ gave living consent to continue to use his voice model. I think if there are real actors providing the framework on which that model is built it would be a suitable legacy for the character. I think the important thing is to defend David Prowse’s memory as JEJ did. It infuriates me when people mock him. Prowse, JEJ, Sebastian Shaw, and Bob Anderson were the Vader we grew up with. It took 5 people to play that one role in the past. It only makes sense that more people will carry that memory on.
