‘Darth Vader’ And ‘The Lion King’ Voice Star James Earl Jones Dies At 93

Buy Me A Coffee

James Earl Jones, the man with a voice so iconic it could command a fleet of Death Stars, has left us. Yes, the legendary actor who made Darth Vader sound like he could scare the galaxy into submission, has passed away at the ripe old age of 93.

Jones’ team has confirmed to Deadline that he decided to take his final bow on Monday morning (September 9) from his cozy abode in Duchess County, New York. Apparently, he figured it was time for a new adventure, perhaps one involving fewer galactic battles and more eternal rest.

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the sheer awesomeness of this guy’s career. To snag an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) is no small feat, but Jones made it look like child’s play. He snagged a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Oscars in 2011, two Emmys for β€œHeat Wave” and β€œGabriel’s Fire” in 1991, a Grammy for Best Spoken Word Album in 1977, and Tony Awards for β€œThe Great White Hope” in 1969 and β€œFences” in 1987. If awards were the Force, Jones would be a Jedi Master.

In the film world, Jones was everywhere. He was Lt. Lothar Zogg in β€œDr. Strangelove,” Jack Jefferson in β€œThe Great White Hope,” Thulsa Doom in β€œConan the Barbarian,” King Jaffe Joffer in β€œComing to America,” Terence Mann in β€œField of Dreams,” and, of course, the voice of Mufasa in β€œThe Lion King.” If you ever heard a deep, commanding voice and thought, β€œI bet that’s James Earl Jones,” you were probably right.

So here’s to James Earl Jones, the man who proved that a voice could be as mighty as a lightsaber and as tender as a lion’s roar. Our hearts go out to his loved ones as they navigate this galaxy without him. May the Forceβ€”and all the love and memories he left behindβ€”be with them.
