One with The Force and a part of the Circle of Life - RIP James Earl Jones

This just in.

James Earl Jones, one of the most recognizable names in acting, and one of the most deepest voices in all media, has died on September 9th, 2024. He was 93 years old.

Other than Thulsa Doom in Conan The Barbarian, Terrance Mann in Field of Dreams, and King Jaffe Joffer in Coming to America, Jones was best known for the three best known voices. The original voice over announcer for CNN, the voice of Mufasa from The Lion King and most of all, the voice of Darth Vader from the original Star Wars Trilogy, Revenge of the Sith, Rogue One, Star Wars Rebels and so forth. 

No word on how he died, but more information will come in a few days. Until then, to quote the man himself...

This is indeed a disturbing universe.

He will be missed, for he is one with the Force and a part of the Circle of Life now. Godspeed good sir, and May the Force be with you.

(TAPS play)

I was about to post his Eulogy myself. Thanks for beating me to it, Jase. You're a bud!

Anytime, bro. And like the man said, when it comes losing our idols, 'This is indeed a disturbing universe'.
