ObiWanKenobi brings back James Earl Jones to voice Darth Vader.
Broadway favorite James Earl Jones has returned to the Star Wars universe to voice Darth Vader in the Disney+ Obi-Wan Kenobi series. He made his debut in Episode 3 in a holo-conference with Reva, the Inquisitor .
The 91-year-old has been voicing Lord Vader since 1977’s Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, continuing with The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, up till as recently as the sequel trilogy's The Rise of Skywalker. Series director Deborah Chow previously told TVLine, “Bringing back Vader [is] obviously something you don’t want to do lightly, and you don’t want to do it just for the sake of doing it.
With his return, Jones is joining the league of classic Star Wars actors like Mark Hamill who recently returned to the silver screen as Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian. Along with voicing Vader, Jones has had an illustrious Broadway career. He bagged a Tony Award for The Great White Hope and Fences. In 2017, he received a Lifetime Achievement Tony Award. He last appeared on Broadway in the revival of D.L. Coburn’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, The Gin Game with Cicely Tyson.
Obi-Wan Keonbi’s Episode 4 is set to air on Wednesday, June 8. You can read the synopsis for the series down below.
