James Earl Jones, who for decades has provided Darth Vader's iconic, menacing voice, will not record new lines for new 'Star Wars' projects.

After a long and successful career as the voice of one of the most famous villains in cinematic history, Jones has announced his retirement from the role. Fans of the franchise will surely miss his deep, commanding voice that brought Darth Vader to life on the big screen.

While Jones may no longer be lending his voice to Darth Vader, his legacy in the world of film and entertainment will undoubtedly continue to live on for years to come.
