His voice will live on even after his death! The villain of Star Wars will be voiced by artificial intelligence.

The 'bad voice' of Star Wars, who passed away on Monday, will return to the screens 'artificially'. It has been learned that James Earl Jones, who passed away at the age of 93, allowed the use of artificial intelligence to imitate Darth Vader's performance after leaving the role. While this is promising for some groups, it is considered 'dangerous' by some sectors.

SEEN AS BOTH PROMISING AND DANGEROUS

James Earl Jones' Darth Vader voice will continue to live through artificial intelligence. This situation contains both hope and uncertainty for voice actors. The reason for concern is that artificial intelligence can be used to reflect a performance on many other actions without their consent, which can reduce or eliminate job opportunities.

Previously, Skywalker Sound and Ukrainian company Respeecher used artificial intelligence to recreate Jones' villain for the Obi-Wan Kenobi series in 2022 on Disney+. Mark Hamill's voice was also aged using Respeecher for the role of Luke Skywalker in The Mandalorian. The idea that artificial intelligence will now be used frequently paves the way for transparent artificial intelligence agreements that enable performance compensations.

Throughout his acting career of over sixty years, James Earl Jones' voice has become an indelible part of his work as an artist. Jones, who died at the age of 93 on Monday, played a reclusive writer who became the center of attention again in "Field of Dreams" on screen and a haughty king of a fictional country in "Coming To America".

APPROVAL OBTAINED TO KEEP ALIVE

A sound editor at Skywalker Sound said to Vanity Fair that Jones gave permission to use archive recordings to keep Darth Vader alive and directed his performance in the Disney+ show as a 'benevolent godfather'.

Voice actor Brock Powell said that the ability to use an actor like Jones' voice forever could eliminate the need for actors specialized in voice matching. They said that such work provides stable jobs for many artists who can recreate a famous voice for video games, animated series, and other media types.

"CAN SOMEONE ELSE BE DARTH VADER?"

Actor Crispin Freeman, who did voice matching work imitating Orlando Bloom's voice in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" movie, said that technology could eliminate voice matching roles but it does not harm the ability of future artists to carve their own paths in new roles.

Freeman said, "As we progress, we should always continue to invent new stories and not just rely on old things," and added, "Instead of worrying about whether someone else can be Darth Vader, why not create a new 'Star Wars' character as interesting as Darth Vader?"
