James Earl Jones, voice of Darth Vader, dies aged 93 - from the BBC…

'James Earl Jones, the Hollywood actor and voice of Darth Vader, has died aged 93, his agent has said.

He died early on Monday morning surrounded by his family, agent Barry McPherson said.

Jones starred in dozens of films including Field of Dreams, Coming To America and Conan the Barbarian. He was best known for giving the Star Wars supervillain Darth Vader his distinctive gravelly voice.

Mark Hamill, who played Vader’s son Luke Skywalker in Star Wars, posted “RIP Dad” with a broken heart emoji as he shared a news report of the death.

He was also the voice of Mufasa in Disney’s 1994 film The Lion King, and CNN’s “This is CNN” tagline.

He won a host of awards including Emmys, Tony Awards, a Grammy and an honorary Oscar.’

If you’re in the UK (maybe in other places too?), this awesome ROTJ book is now available at £20.74 (a third off!) - so be quick!

As it is just over £20 it still qualifies for free postage and packing too! 😃

Just a very quick return from me to post ‘Happy Birthday’ to the OriginalTrilogy•com on this milestone day.

20 years… ‘impressive, most impressive’ - for any website; but especially so for such a site as this… given the very nature of this extraordinary place.

Massive thanks to Jay for making this all possible - from conception, evolution, to his resolution in still being here some 20 years later. Giving us fans of the classic Original Trilogy a place to call home - still administering it all - and all achieved under the nose of the Empire.

Kudos and credit to Zion, Moth3r (RIP), Anchorhead, SilverWook and Tobar - for being custodians of this unique site and giving up their time and energies in helping run this most resolute community over the years.

For everyone who has posted on here over the 20 years; from the petition to the fan projects, from providing technical information to sharing stories and experiences, their insights and experiences with the Galaxy Far Far Away. And those who just simply provided some jokes, laughs and lifted spirits. To the invaluable tech guys and insightful reviewers. The old relentless PIF networkers and project archivists & uploaders. Those who suggested ideas, dreams and projects - many of which were achieved. The countless kind, generous, knowledgeable, humble and gracious posters on here over these past two decades that made this most resolute community what it is.

To borrow a phrase from a well-known Star Wars collecting youtube channel - and also old OT member…

…“the fans are doing the best work”.

Hi 13hm13,

There is a thread for discussing Mike’s 25th May '20 livestream, here - Info: Mike Verta’s 4K Restoration - May 2020 Livestream

It may be worth searching that, and maybe Mike’s StarWarsLegacy.com - The Official Thread to see if there is a mention there?

Good luck with it mate. 👍

Temporary lock. When I have time tomorrow… I’ll sift through the PMs in my inbox - and then the forum threads - supposedly with politics or offensive posts in.

Edit: thread unlocked.

Not much doing at all - though please knock it off with the politics…

I think you probably shouldn’t spoil this season for anyone who hasn’t yet watched it… by putting what occurs in the title of your project thread.

It is worth giving this a read - it is primarily about Star Wars spoilers - yet applies to all projects on here.

Don’t forget the version of the Sequels… that were novels (back in 1999):-

In 1999, an interview with George Lucas in Wired magazine, titled ‘Grand Illusion’… just a few months before the ‘Vector Prime’ book (from the ‘New Jedi Order’ series of novels) - began being heavily promoted (with tv advert and poster campaigns), a series of novels which Lucas himself was involved in and contributed to…

Interviewer: “What about the reports that Episodes 7, 8, and 9 - which exist in novel form - will never reach the screen?”

George Lucas: “The sequels were never really going to get made anyway, unlike 1, 2, and 3, where the stories have existed for 20 years. The idea of 7, 8, and 9 actually came from people asking me about sequels, and I said, “I don’t know. Maybe someday.” Then when the licensing people came and asked, “Can we do novels?” I said do sequels, because I’ll probably never do sequels.”

For some reason , I am unable to see that article on reddit at that link . Sounded interesting from the comments . Was it removed , or is there a back up link ? or conversely , could you post the text of the article here ?
