RIP to a legend. Thank you for everything you gave us, from Darth Vader to Thulsa Doom and everything that followed.

A part of my childhood and adolescence that I will never forget. Time to watch Conan the Barbarian and Star Wars again.

Very sad news.

I'm sure Disney will resurrect him through AI for some Star Wars claptrap.

You're probably right. They did it to Ian Holm in the new Alien.

I hate to tell you this but a Jones already authorized the use of an AI version of his voice for Vader.

James himself helped train the AI program. They already used it in Obi-Wan Kenobi.

RIP to a legend. He could make even the most horribly-written shlock sound regal.
