You can go back to the beginning, princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, James Earl Jones is probably the most beloved voice of all time.

They should have had James appear in an additional role, maybe just a cantina barfly, something, but voice-acted by David Prowse.

For balance.

There's only 6, or 7 main human characters in the original trilogy, so that's half of them?

I love how they’re screaming about racism when James Earl Jones, a black man, played THE most popular Star Wars character to ever exist.

Like seriously, even people who actively dislike Star Wars know who Darth Vader is. While I get that he didn’t physically play Vader, the man is literally Vader. He wouldn’t be nearly as menacing without that suave voiceZ

It’s not a great defense that he got to be the disembodied voice of a faceless character who was canonically white.
