Yeah, we all knew his time would eventually come. It was only a matter of when, and how we’d take it.

What concerns me is if his voice is going to be taken advantage of with AI regarding future Star Wars projects. I have heard Disney has unfortunately considered that.

Aside from his notable role as Darth Vader on the Star Wars series of films, he also appeared on a 1978 episode of Sesame Street during the final weeks of Season 9. That episode was offered on HBO Max for a while, before the rebranding to Max.

Indeed. In fact, if you count the test pilots, Jones was Sesame Street’s first guest star.
