May the force be with you.
Not just Darth Vader. King Jaffe Joffer. And a respected stage actor. Rest in peace.
Go RIP in those fields of dreams.

That's the movie I remember him best in.
Was looking at his film list and saw Dr. Strangelove. Can't remember him in that at all RIP James.

Just to show how old I am, I remember him from being the baddy in Conan the Barbarian.
We're all lying if we say we actually enjoyed watching him on our screens in Star Wars, to be honest
A Big chunk of a lot of our childhood sadly leaves this realm but thankfully their brilliant body of work lives on.
RIP Sir James
The voice of kings and fallen lords, Mufasa's wisdom, Vader’s sword. James Earl Jones, now softly still, yet echoes strong, they always will.
Through Simba’s heart and Vader’s breath, you’ve conquered life, transcending death. Though silence falls, your legacy reigns, in every roar, your spirit remains!
RIP 🌹😢
The man was class personified with a voice that will never fade. From Conan, to Mufasa, Hunt for Red October, Best of The Best, Field of Dreams and the most iconic voice in movie history.
R.I.P Legend.

Why would you want to confer a knighthood on him?

Morning Baz, I think this one has right over many heads!
How odd that last night I went to watch Star Wars a New Hope on the big screen (first time in probably 45 years) Don't know why but VUE are showing all the originals again, an opportunity i didnt want to miss.
Came out of the cinema, checked my phone and JEJ's death is the first thing i see. Rest in Peace and may the force be with you

Has anyone heard the voice of David Prowse before Jones was brought in? Whoever had the idea of bring Jones in deserved a big bonus.
I only really remember him in this, Coming To America and Field Of Dreams
RIP

Casting a black man to voice a white man's part. Is that the first real instance of wokeness in cinema?
RIP JEJ

Yeah the footage with Prowse's voice makes it sound so bad. There's also footage of the Catina bar with the barmans real voice, makes it sounds like they're in the Queen Vic.

I haven't seen the Catina bar footage. I'll have a look later.
Vader just wouldn't have been Vader without the voice. I saw Flash Gordon was on one of the ITV channels the other day - JEJ's voice bellowing out 'Gordon's alive' would have sounded great

A very good afternoon to you Silver you really are a Victor Meldew ray of Caladonian sunshine...seriously pal did you seriously gage from my respectful post that I was bestowing a knighthood upon the great man's shoulders????
Well let me make it quite clear to you I was not and do not support these kind of narcissistic trinkets that unfortunately many still do and the term Sir I used was for me used as a mark of respect I like you would give to your elders for example as recognition to someone
deserving in your opinion of such respect not an effing brown nosing establishment soul selling title.
Hope that makes my position quite clear Silver me old mucker because the old saying it's a big club and you ain't in it is a badge of honour I am proud to wear.

Glad to hear it, mate! My thoughts entirely which makes it somewhat strange you even risked a misunderstanding, especially using capitalisation and no punctuation to express your supposed respect.
Further, the expression is an American import we can do without and used in the brown nose ways you detest over there.
That said, thanks for the Meldrew analogy - it has made my day and would have made my old man proud.
