He recognised Prowse had done the acting on-set, interacted with the cast, with all that demanding physicality and discomfort in full costume, and that DP deserved credit for that. Declining to be credited for his own *iconic* voiceover work was an incredibly selfless thing to do. The quality of his work was its own reward. What an absolute pro.

I seen the interview on KZread, so look it up if you want to see it! Just good stuff.

For me the sound of him breathing is one of the most iconic sounds in movie history. In Rebel One before you see Vader or his lightsaber you hear the breath, and you know that every rebel trooper in that corridor is now dead. Vader's breathing ranks up there with Godzilla's roar and the sound of the TARDIS as one of the greatest sounds in movies and television.

"I find your lack of faith disturbing." I always pictured that line delivered with a smirk, which is what's brilliant about the fact that Vader is masked; you don't really know what his exact emotions are, and unless they are in extremes, you are left ambivalent as to his intentions. Similarly to the line "We would be honored, if you would join us." Which I also cannot help but picture a smirk.

Agreed, it seems self apparent that I have a split personality, one part David one part James, and one part Hayden.

I saw this 1977 film in a movie theatre when it was released 45 years ago. I was 20 at the time. 5:34: That one scene of Luke restlessly gazing out into the unknown drips nostalgia and melancholia for me, and reminds me of the young guy with the world to be explored and enjoyed - me. I'll be 66 this year. Hell, I feel I could've done more. Ah-well.

Fantastic piece! ❤

Not only the most recognizable villain but the BEST villain. Absolutely legendary & insanely intimidating. Dude is the stuff of nightmares & I love it.

Mr Jones IS Vader. The voice makes the character. Best quote for me has always been: "I find your lack of faith... disturbing." Said with Spartan subtlety and menace - it sums up the character completely. He is bereft to the point that all he has left is his devotion to the force and he stands within it like it is a fortress. That is a sophisticated piece of characterisation that can only be delivered by just the right voice. THAT voice.

James Earl Jones is so awesome. Giving up his credit in making the sound of Vader because he wanted the real actor to be recognized

I think it's incredibly humble for James Earl Jones to consider Prose as the true actor of Vader, Prose does so much to sell the character in the first scene he appears in without even any dialogue.

Especially in light of Kenobi, I feel like this line hits even harder now.

Such a cool video! I know this is mainly focused on the cinema part of things but since we dove into sound design and other aspects that made DV iconic, I think John Williams score is equally instrumental in making this character the force he is, as well as all the other things you mentioned!

Well done “Most impressive” I say it all the time. Love this perspective it really was the work of post of people to bring this iconic character to life!

When Vader tells Luke ‘It is, too late for me son…’ I genuinely felt bad for him and he sounded so defeated. Great line.

"No! I am your father!" Every mouth in the theater dropped when this line was said! The fact that 3 people made up Darth Vader was beautiful symphony that made this character so iconic! Great video Thank You so much🌟🙏❤🤖👍

I'm guessing that was the time recording, or possibly auditioning. Not including the networking, the understanding that a deeper fuller voice performance would enhance the character, possible rewrites to better fit Jones' performance (if there were any), the audio effects, etc. The 2.5 hours were likely the pivotal moment, sure. But there was a lot more going on both before and after to bring the voice fully to life and screen.

@@plzletmebefrank Sure, the sound designer probably spent 100+ hours testing the recording in different settings to get the right effect, but James Earl Jones’ iconic voice is the backbone of the whole performance. According to this video, they only spent 2.5 hours recording lines. So, as for as JEJ’s contribution, it was only 2.5 hours of work to change pop culture history.

I've been looking for the original clip with prowse' voice for years.... thank you

That was a masterful piece of storytelling with a voice that's the antithesis of Darth Vader. Prodigious! 😎

James earl jones is the most humble person ever His work he believed wasn’t even worth being known just a day of work for him

a friend of mine told me "it's always nice to find a fitting voice for a character, but that voice would not be able to fit unless the presence of that character was already established." and that is basically what happened as well! the best of both worlds!

Star Wars was the first movie I ever saw in a cinema as a kid, my parents said I sat glued to the screen for the entire time. This was the start of my love for sci-fi movies. It is also probably why I have set up my own cinema in my house and watch a movie every day, sad I know but i love cinema, I love the idea that in another universe or alternate reality maybe just maybe this is happening.

I know it’s not a quote but my favourite Vader noise is his angry scream when Luke hits his arm, that angry shout made me laugh but it was a nervous laugh as I knew he was throughly annoyed.

I couldn't imagine Darth Vader without James Earl Jones' voice. That made that character complete.

I agree!

James Jones is such a class act. He is held in very high esteem not only as a screen actor but even more so on the stage. He’s been in so many famous plays. Sunrise At Campobello The Blacks, Merchant of Venice, Othello, etc etc etc. he also had a terrible stutter when he was young. What a titan of entertainment.

Thank God for James Earl Jones! 😊

"I find your lack of faith disturbing." I remember this quote when my grades in school are failing. And my father said something identical.

James Earl Jones is one of my all-time favorite actors. From serious roles like being the voice of Vader to comedic roles like the King of Zamunda and appearances on The Big Bang Theory...............There is never a dull moment with him!! Once he goes to the "Upper Room" there should be a Vader statue within Disneyland and Disneyworld in honor of him!! In the meantime, Id LOVE to meet him one day

we are sooooooo incredibly lucky to have yet another go around with the voice of Darth Varder, James Earl Jones. who in his most senior age of 91 has yet again had the strength and power to reprise his role as Darth Vader. My only gripe about the whole starwars property is that they dont acknowledge the man as they really should.

“This will be a day-long remembered”

"There is no conflict!", spoken with so much anger and regret at the same time. Fantastic.

I enjoyed Vader's movements as well. The walk, resting his hand on his belt, his lightsaber moves.

You never really think about the breathing, but it really does make his character. And the end of the video, when you show Davis Prowse side y side with James Earl Jones, it really hit home the difference. As for Vader's best quote, it has the be the one that shook the world, "No, I am your father"

Moral of the story - Film is a collaborative effort. If it wasn't for James Earl Jones's voice, David Prowse's body language, George Lucas's script, and Ben Burtt's sound design, we wouldn't have Darth Vader at all today. Each of them played a major part in bringing the character to life, nobody overshadows anyone in my personal opinion. They all deserve credit for this.

I love Star Wars it inspired my imagination as a child, half way through my life 50+ it still does. May the force be with you all, peace to all.

I wonder if there's a way to see the layers here; first the scene with the actor's own lines, then the lines as read with the new voiceover, last the effects added to convincingly put him inside this really awkward and painful suit. This is fascinating.

Everybody is always making fun of how Hayden delivered his lines so flat, but I really do think he's doing that purposefully and perfectly. Listen to how he delivers his lines in the movies vs in real life. When he's playing Anakin you can hear this distinct drawl that is very akin to James Earl Jones'. Such as the lines "You will try" or "My powers have doubled since the last time we met Count".

Would've been better if he tried to soften out his American accent and obviously Lucas should have given him lines more suitable for someone who's transitioning into Darth Vader.
