Signed his voice rights away, so now either a human or an AI can play the voice of Darth Vader.

(BTW Anakin was born in 41 BBY and died in 4 ABY, so Anakin/Vader died at age 45, same amount of years that JEJ played the voice of Vader)

How do the VA rights work for things in which he didn't voice Vader?

Like IIRC The Force Unleashed was the Chad Vader guy.

Do they pay JEJ for the rights to the voice?

Jones basically cashed out, and Respeecher gets to do it now.

Didn't he also do this for Mufasa? I'm starting to fear the worse for James Earl Jones.

Respect for the man.

On the subject, I wonder where Matt Sloan has been? I always liked his Darth Vader, but he hasn't been used for games or other media since like 2017.

And it's not like JEJ did all of Vader's voice in the interim. There have even been comedic LEGO Star Wars stuff where Vader was voiced by others.

Sad to hear since he's so legendary, but the man does deserve some rest if that what he wants. I'm glad his voice is going to live on.

I always figured he's been the primary voice since TFU and Soul Calibur.

But it's still wild that he got the job in the first place. For a YouTube parody to get that much recognition by the IP holders in was pretty crazy for the late 00s.
