That one is a pedophile and sexual predator too, so nah.

Well fuck me, you’re right. I knew this and still got it wrong. Welp - that’s why I chose the name.

As is their right. His estate, or him personally, doesn’t matter.

If JEJ granted voice rights, then that’s peachy. Nobody owes someone else that job. Sounds like JEJ locked it down.

The idea that actors are required to be hired is kind of nonsense. Every industry has had to deal with less people required to produce the same amount of output. At this point, JEJ voice of Darth Vader IS Darth Vader. I can understand the studio wanting to retain that. Replacing voice actors is often jarring for the viewer.

Did they train something on an actors voice, or use the actors voice recordings without contractual permission?

OR:

Did they use an AI voice and some filters to make the character talk without hiring an actor?

Because if it’s the second, who cares? If it’s the first, they should be raked over the coals.

I usually physically take drives out and boot without them before wiping. Just something I do now, because of this exact situation.

There was that one guy who got charged $60k in late fees at blockbuster though.
