Ninety three is a good run, and ‘revered’ is not an exaggeration. My prayers and condolences to his family and loved ones.
James Earl Jones, the revered actor who voiced ‘Star Wars’ villain Darth Vader, starred in ‘Field Of Dreams’ and many other films and is an EGOT winner, died this morning at his home in Dutchess County, NY. He was 93.

Voiced by James Earl Jones… and not bodied by David Prowse. Apparently that particular feud was ported over to the new owners. And I can’t… actually, I’ve decided to not have an opinion on said feud. Life is too short.
As for Darth Vader being in Rogue One: well, geez, easier to have him in there than to say why he’s not, right? I mean, it’s taking place when he’d be around, and all they need to do is to have James Earl Jones read some dialogue. I assume that JEJ is hale enough to do that, and it’d be cool if he did.
This doesn’t count as hokey… what? Oh, yes, by all means, get yourself comfortable, not to mention a glass of something. We can wait.
Ready?
Enjoy.
