George Lucas landed Jones for the voice for his 1977 space fantasy's black-garbed villain, Darth Vader, replacing the on-set dialogue recorded by actor David Prowse whose British accent wasn’t dark enough for the Sith Lord. For his one-day job delivering such memorable Vader lines as"I find your lack of faith disturbing," Jones was paid a paltry lump sum of $7,000.
