THIS guy was always the "voice of God" for me

I never understood the over-adulation of Morgan Freeman's voice. It's okay but it's not commanding to me as others always tout.

Better, he's the voice of Darth Vader!

I think that is what he meant.

To whom does God kneel, and address as "My Master"?

[–] fc31 (4662) 4 months ago

Zeus? He had that lighting thingy, which Vader wasn't awfully fond of.

And Vader later reborn in force, sounds kind of familiar.

You don't seem to have understood the question.

[–] fc31 (4662) 4 months ago

I understand the question, but it is hard to come up with a witty/funny answer.

And I obviously failed there.

Can't win 'em all, dude.

"Disney had acquired the rights to the voice of James Earl Jones, 92, so that Darth Vader can scare children for generations to come."

Fake news

It's actually true 😊

"In 2022, his voice was used via Respeecher software for Darth Vader in the Disney+ miniseries Obi-Wan Kenobi.[66] During production, Jones signed a deal with Lucasfilm authorizing archival recordings of his voice to be used in the future to artificially generate the voice of Darth Vader.[67] In September 2022, Jones announced that he would retire from the role of voicing Darth Vader with future voice roles for Vader being created with AI voice software using archive audio of Jones."

Indeed!

Nah, Redd Foxx was the real voice

Wait! What? Vader is God now?

Thinking about it, he is everyone’s father, so I guess it makes sense 🤔
