At 91, the legendary actor recently told Disney he was “looking into winding down this particular character.” That forced the company to ask itself how do you even replace Jones? The answer Disney eventually settled on, with the actor’s consent, involved an AI program.

If you’ve seen any of the recent Star Wars shows, you’ve heard the work of Respeecher. It’s a Ukrainian startup that uses archival recordings and a “proprietary AI algorithm” to create new dialogue featuring the voices of “performers from long ago.” In the case of Jones, the company worked with Lucasfilm to recreate his voice as it had sounded when film audiences first heard Darth Vader in 1977.

According to Vanity Fair, Jones had signed off on Disney using recordings of his voice and Respeecher’s software to “keep Vader alive.” Lucasfilm veteran Matthew Wood told the outlet that James guided the Sith Lord’s performance in Obi-Wan Kenobi, acting as “a benevolent godfather,” but it was ultimately the AI that gave Vader his voice in many of the scenes.

While there’s something to be said about preserving Vader’s voice, Disney’s decision to use an AI to do so is likely to add fuel to disagreements over how such technology should be used in creative fields. For instance, Getty Images recently banned AI-generated art over copyright concerns. With Jones, there's the possibility we could hear him voice Vader long after he passes away. 

]]> https://briefnews.eu/an-ai-program-voiced-darth-vader-in-obi-wan-kenobi-so-james-earl-jones-could-finally-retire/feed/ 0 James Earl Jones Has Stepped Away From Voicing Darth Vader https://briefnews.eu/james-earl-jones-has-stepped-away-from-voicing-darth-vader/ https://briefnews.eu/james-earl-jones-has-stepped-away-from-voicing-darth-vader/#respond Sat, 24 Sep 2022 03:32:42 +0000 https://briefnews.eu/james-earl-jones-has-stepped-away-from-voicing-darth-vader/

James Earl Jones is 91 years young, and after voicing the character for 40 years, it sounds like he has finally moved on from the role of Darth Vader. By now, “Star Wars” fans have gotten used to seeing actors digitally resurrected or de-aged, as in the case of Peter Cushing and Carrie Fisher in “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” and Mark Hamill in “The Book of Boba Fett.” What you may not know is that the voices of some legacy actors are also being digitally recreated via A.I.

Vanity Fair has a new report out about the Ukrainian origins of the new/old Darth Vader’s voice, and in the context of that, the magazine mentions that Jones has officially “stepped back from the role” of Darth Vader. 

Vader played a big part in the recent Disney+ series “Obi-Wan Kenobi,” and you may have noticed that his voice sounded different in that series, more like his old self than it did in “Rogue One,” where the effects of Jones’ age made the character’s voice sound a bit more tremulous. It turns out this is because Lucasfilm brought in a Ukraine-based company called Respeecher to synthetically construct new Vader dialogue for “Obi-Wan Kenobi” based on archival recordings.

‘He Had Mentioned He Was Looking Into Winding Down’

Respeecher is the same company that was behind Luke Skywalker’s voice in “The Book of Boba Fett,” so it already had an existing relationship with Lucasfilm, but Russia’s invasion of Ukraine earlier this year severely complicated matters when it came to “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” Its synthetic-speech artists were still wrapping up work on the series even as Russian soldiers were crossing over into Ukraine on February 24, 2022. Needless to say, this serves as a sobering reminder of real-world events playing out not only in tandem with but behind the very scenes of the entertainment we consume.

Matthew Wood, the supervising sound editor for Skywalker Sound, said Jones acted as “a benevolent godfather” overseeing Respeecher’s work on Vader’s voice for “Obi-Wan Kenobi.” “He had mentioned he was looking into winding down this particular character,” Wood said. According to the report, however, they made sure to “inform the actor about their plans for Vader and heed his advice on how to stay on the right course.”

Jones famously overcame a childhood stuttering impediment to develop one of the most well-known voices in movie history. He also voiced Mufasa in “The Lion King,” in addition to playing live-action roles in films like “Coming to America.” Some “Star Wars” fans may have already consigned themselves to him retiring from the Darth Vader role due to his age, but now we have official confirmation that Jones is passing the baton, and all that remains to be said is: may the Force be with you, sir.

The Bake Off host kept a straight face throughout as he delivered the surprise news to The One Show hosts, who by this point were giddy for their guest.

“I play a special policeman,” Matt continued, which brought a huge gasp from Alex.

An excitable Alex began to probe Matt: “You were telling us as well, you haven’t seen any of the footage yet.”

Matt’s poker face stayed strong as he concocted a tale about his time on the show: “They give you only some of the script, so I don’t even know what happens in the end.”

” And the crew, and the studio! I mean, lockdown’s been anything but predictable, and we’ve had some really unexpected news.

“Baby number three is on the way!” She laughed as Ronan clapped: “Congratulations to you and Charlie, fabulous news.”

“Aw, thank you,” Alex said, looking delighted. “I’ll need all the tips, we didn’t see that one coming, but we’re delighted.”

Once the show had wrapped up, Alex took to her social media account and posted an image of herself, her husband and two children.

“It’s less, but we said that before Cheltenham, and that was a super-spreading event,” Dr Hilary replied.

“We have to be really careful that whenever people get together whatever the cause and how strongly they feel, it is putting lives at risk down the line.

“I am all in favour of peaceful protests, with a cause as important as this, but there must be creative ways of doing this.”

Chief medical officer Professor Chris Whitty and chief scientific advisor Patrick Vallance have both disputed Dr Hilary’s view by stating there is no evidence to suggest protests are super-spreader events.

“You can’t think, ‘Let me think about that’, you either do it or they’re gone. And that’s what happened when I saw that singer, just listening to him sing and I thought, ‘Why the hell didn’t you press the button?’ 

“And I shouted in the thing [rewatching the episode back], ‘Press the button you mug!'”

But he wasn’t the only one who should’ve pressed their button, Tom commented: “We [he and the other coaches] should have turned for him. 

“I just don’t understand it. That’s why I shouted out [during the episode]. Press the button!

Tom, however, repaid the favour when Olly eliminated 16-year-old Leah over Nathan. 

The Welsh singer just couldn’t let the young talent go and decided to add her to his team. 

Meanwhile, Anne-Marie was extremely torn over her first battle decision. 

She put two of her powerhouse acts against each other as Lauren faced double act Wayne and Morgan, and while she chose the duo, Will stole the loser of the battle and added her to his team.
