Jones was involved throughout the process of perfecting Vader’s voice for “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” Wood said, helping guide the teams involved with recreating his sound and staying updated on Lucasfilm’s plans for Vader in the future. James Earl Jones' signature bass has helped make Darth Vader an iconic villain. “He had mentioned he was looking into winding down this particular character,” Wood told Vanity Fair. The actor signed off on Lucasfilm’s plans to continue to use his voice for Vader in the years to come through archival recordings and new dialogue created through AI, the outlet reported. Jones, 91, last recorded a Vader voice cameo for the 2019 sequel “The Rise of Skywalker,” sound editor Matthew Wood told Vanity Fair. Ukrainian startup Respeecher was tasked with creating a version of Jones’ voice as it sounded in the original trilogy for the recent Disney+ miniseries “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” which takes place several years after Anakin Skywalker becomes a Sith lord. Instead, Jones’ voice will live on artificially through an AI program that can recreate his voice, so Vader can deliver new lines of dialogue and maintain the commanding bass sound that made him a widely feared villain, Vanity Fair reported. James Earl Jones, who for decades has provided Darth Vader’s iconic, menacing voice, will not record new lines for new “Star Wars” projects.
