Very sad. He brought top notch acting to every role he did

One of those voices that can’t be fully or adequately replicated by anyone. A loss to the entertainment world to be certain.

I was looking up quotes to put on here and apparently there is an audiobook of JEJ narrating the Bible.

I wouldn’t spend money on it, but I’m actually a bit intrigued…

I think they have clips on YouTube. I’ve heard some of it and it’s good. Anytime he speaks its good lol.

Rumour is for the Kenobi series it was AI that had to do his voice. That’s how good it is. No human can replicate it.

He is perhaps one of two people that I would legit listen, if they read a phone book. Or a Wikipedia entry.

Best tribute ever. Star Wars, with all of Vader's dialogue overlaid with other JEJ quotes.

No wonder that guy got in shit. The placement of that private’s porno mag definitely did not meet the standard. It’s supposed be inside barrack box laid neatly and squarely on the top so the master corporal can take a reading break during morning inspection.
