While many of us already know that Darth Vader voiced by James Earl Jones is long dead by the time of the upcoming Episode VII. Many have speculated do you think Disney will try to get James Earl Jones to return to voice the evil Darth Vader in the upcoming Star Wars Spin-off flicks. One flick in particular will focus on a young Han Solo and Chewbacca so in reality Darth Vader is very much alive and...breathing. Unfortunately, it seems that James Earl Jones no longer wants to return to the galaxy far far away.
"Oh no, I’ve got no illusions that I will or even hankerings to be in them, but I’m very proud to have been part of the original. I have no idea where they’ll go with it, but I hope they sustain the success of the first ones and do it well."At his age I don't blame him but it would have been nice. It won't be impossible to find a voice actor to mimic Jones legendary voice though. Now a question does arise that when Simon Kinberg was asked if James Earl Jones would return to voice Darth Vader in the upcoming animated series Star Wars: Rebels he hinted at Jones returning?
In the end they may end up both be with out Jones and need a voice actor.“I don’t think I’m allowed to answer that. I can say that wherever possible we would want to use the original talent.”
