James Earl Jones Signed Over Darth Vader's Voice Rights, Retiring from Star Wars

Even if you never watched SW you knew that voice.

It’s cool they’re not gonna try to imitate his voice with another actor. I just hope that shyt doesn’t become excessive

watch the capture bbc, ai is terrifying

 

[Loken]

believed they used AI for his voice in the obi wan show

*edit* yep

"Darth Vader's voice in Obi-Wan Kenobi was entirely AI-generated Although James Earl Jones "guided" the performance of his iconic character, the actual lines were all generated by an AI firm in Ukraine"

Damn, I didn't know he was 91

What a run

 

[Diunx]

on the one hand, more power to him cause I'm sure doing the vader voice could be taxing....on the other hand

this type of shyt scares me...imagine if this really takes off and more actors, musicians, etc. do this.

we'll be getting hov, nas, pac, biggie songs in 2345 made off AI.

or having simpsons characters be voiced by the OG cast in 2099

Sounds awesome

Sith Lords signing over their rights to companies like musicians


That being said get that money

 

[feelosofer]

I can understand him cashing out. Its one of the GOAT voices. I'm sure he was well compensated. His estate is worth millions.

Art imitating life

All we need now is the right word or two

 

[Flex Grossman]

Disney is gonna eat off those rights and their Ai tech for generations. Hope breh got a massive check

 

[MajesticLion]

Very, very bad precedent to set.

That AI voice shyt gonna be scary in the future. You know the demons gonna use it to have people locked up or try to incriminate them.

Of course they will. They now own Darth's voice, oo they're gonna use it ever chance they get. I wonder if the Mouse get it though. If so, we're gonna get 100 Mufasa movies as well.

I meant the use of voice AI in general.

Good for him, he's 91. The fact that he did Vader's voice as long as he did is admirable.

I feel sorry for whoever voices Vader after him though. Fanboys will 100% automatically hate.

LMAO
