R.I.P. James Earl Jones :(
You are the only Darth Vader. I hope no one else tries to replace you.

I literally wouldn’t be the person that I am without him. Words cannot begin to describe how sad I am.

SUCH A LEGEND STAR WARS WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN THE SAME WITHOUT HIM❤🙏🕊️

You literally changed my life at a young age, Mr. Jones --- when I heard Vader onscreen at age 6 in 1977 --- you made movie villains very REAL and I thank you for that! RIP, legend :-(

[JoeZaccaris]

Such a legendary life! The single phrase "I AM YOUR FATHER" is probably the most famous line in movie history for multiple generations. Rest in peace, Mr. Jones.
