Yes, or perhaps he gave his permission just to use his voice since he recorded more dialogue lines but maybe voice AI wasn’t advanced enough at that time. His estate did give permission with regards AI though, IIRC.
Honestly? Let James Earl Jones keep Vader. He can keep living as Darth instead of fading away into obscurity. He earned it.
@RightHandOfIkaros@chronicledmonocle wait he gave Disney permission or he just gave permission to do that in general? Wouldn’t that make those dumb YT parodies ok? (at least for Vader’s character)
Let’s be real, while other actors have done an okay job, there is only one true Joker: Jack Nicholson.
In all honesty, the Jokers portrayed by different actors were not trying to mimic other actors. They were doing their own portrayal of the character. Which works well enough for Joker because each different version is in its own universe so to speak.
Darth Vader with any voice other than James Earl Jones just sounds wrong, not matter how well the actor does. The two are inseparable, IMO.

Eh, even though we had Mark Hamill’s joker, there have been some good takes by other VAs
