R.I.P. Vader

We lost James Earl. What an icon. He may not have shredded a 6 string but I know he meant a lot to many here.

 

[ChuggNorris]

RIP

 

[Monkey Man]

IIRC the fist time I saw him was when he played Thulsa Doom in Conan the Barbarian.

Dude was always on-point. RIP.

(Now this thread is kind of on topic.)



Seriously, RIP JEJ. The voice of the greatest movie villain of all time. If you've never seen this video, it's hilarious:

 

[errrrrl]

Right there with ya Monkey.... Thulsa DooM was etched into my mind at a very early age... legend! RIP!

 

[Monkey Man]

Yup, same here man. Etched.

I haven't heard this role mentioned in any of the mainstream tributes (just short news cuts) I've seen.

Thulsa Doom was the first in ancient recorded history to mention it’s all in the fingers…

“What is steel compared to the hand that wields it?”

Fun fact; JEJ was a huge gun collector. Started selling them off through a small store in Wisconsin I believe about 10 years ago.

Sucks, man.

One of my earliest memories was being a toddler watching the pre-Special Edition VHS with my parents. Some of my first proper nouns I learned outside of family members and neighbors were characters from A New Hope.

Yup…. He knew the answer to the riddle of steel…

Ironically enough, they all have severe laryngitis.
