Vader voice discussion

There's really no need for a mechanical Vader fight sequence. Sorry, but there are already 5 other lightsaber duels in the movie. As far as I'm concerned, Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan is the Vader fight sequence. He'll already be evil, and he'll be Lord Vader, just not behind the mask yet. 😉

well as much as ppl want to see a mech vader fight, GL MAY and i say MAY want to keep it a secret. i heard in several places that theres a big surprise at the end....maybe that type of fight or slaughter, is it.

Possibly...doubtful, but that's a possibility.

My predicition is that the surprise will have something to do with the OT somehow.

we can only hope, right?

True that. 😉

I doubt the surprise will be a mechanical Vader fight, but I hope it is. I think the surprise is gonna be something stupid, like, Thrawn will show up or something gay like that that nobody cares about.

The voice seemed alot louder and clearer when he spoke.

thats true

i think it's def james earl jones. and i wouldn't doubt at all that he'd try and make it sound slightly like hayden. he's a professional, a real smart guy, and knows what he's doing.

i totally agree.....remember lucas has Skywalker sound and im sure they can tweak pitch and stuff like that....but even still, they cant make hayden sound like JEJ, there would be no point anyway, why go thru all that when you can just call up the original guy and say "hey come say a few lines for me, and ill give you a couple mil." know what Im sayin?

I did n't like his voice.

as you can see, JEJ has done absolutely NO voice recording for Vader in ep3 as of yet. That was NOT his voice in the trailer.

Nor his his voice listed in the ep3 credits whereas his name is listed in the original trilogy credits.

vaders voice sounds funny

When I first watched the trailer I noticed it was more clearer, and at the end of master, there's a slight trace of youth.

Also, I know what the suprise is going to be (not for sure, but it's kinda obvious) but i'm not going to spoil it.

well maybe i was wrong then. or maybe he recorded it since that date.
either way i think it sounds just right for the scene, and for the fact that this is vader 20 years before a new hope vader.

wow, so you're going to trust an off handed comment he made to some random guy instead of listening to an actual interview with him where he says he recorded his part. 🙄

Yeah...

After reading that, I was unsure, but that is definetely his voice on the trailer.

My theory: JEJ is a lying bastard. Just kidding. I love him dearly. Probably just sworn to secrecy, or perhaps the vader lines were very quickly recorded in the same time as the ESB ones, since there are so few, and Jones expected more.

Hey, what would have happened in Orson Welles had played the original Darth Vader? Would they manipulate Hayden's voice for this? I guess it doesn't really matter.

Interesting question. my bet would be if Orson Wells had been the voice we wouldn't have heard vader speak in this film [if indead the prequels ever got made]. Or the vader voice would have been different and so would the suit to explain this. I suppose they did a similar thing in the matrix 3 when the actress who played the original oracle died.

Wayne...

whatever they did it sounded awesome , it literally gave me chills & i also agree with sith master X theres no need for a mechanical vader fight scene it wouldnt fit into the end of the film at all and if it was crammed in it would drag the movie down and make it suck , theres no need & anywayz episode III will be the best SW movie of all time , this is the film we have been waiting for and im 100% confident it will not dissapoint , although im sure there will be more than a few people who will dissagree , sorry if this got a bit off topic

Alright, I think I know what it is about Vader's voice in the teaser that's bugging me so much.

In the OT, James Earl Jones spoke with a British accent when doing Vader's voice. In the teaser, Vader speaks with a purely American accent (no accent at all). My guess is that it isn't Jones voice at all, but rather Hayden's voice digitally manipulated to sound like Vader. Or maybe it's some unknown guys voice. I don't think this is the final audio cut that will be in the film. At least I hope it isn't. It just doesn't sound like the Vader we all know and love.
