It's also Disney+ day

It's also Disney+ day

I thought Disney+ Day was November 12. I have a very clear memory of that.

 

[Disco]

From a quick Google it looks like Disney Plus day isn't fixed.

Not this year.

Is nothing sacred?!?!? It's the War on Disney Day! Keep the "Is" in Disney Day!!!

A Jedi's Return is nice. It's very...Disney. I enjoyed it more than the actual series. I noticed that when they were filming the Vader Vs. Obi Wan battle they played Duel of the Fates. Real shame they didn't put it in the series.

 

[fireproof78]

I like Duel of the Fates and all but it is way too overplayed. Glad they opted to not in the series.

 

[Reverend]

It wouldn't have made sense in the show anyway. That piece of music had a very specific meaning that simply doesn't apply here.

Indeed.

I noticed they didn't mention anything about Darth Vader's voice. Thought it might be something they would like to touch on like they did with Luke's voice in Mando.

You may have just answered your own question there. They'd just be repeating what the Mando & BoBF docs already covered.
The thing that's unclear (unless I straight up missed it) is whether Jones himself recorded the base track for the respeacher process, or if someone else did it and he's only being credited for use of the archival material.
Part of me kinda hopes Hayden Christensen laid down the base dialogue track instead of Jones. Aside from being oddly poetic, it'd give him a little vindication for the effort he went to in the prequels trying to incorporate Jones' delivery and cadence into his own performance.

The names for both James Earl Jones and Hayden Christensen were in the end credits for the episodes that included Anakin.

 

[Tuskin38]

It doesn't sound like they used anyone for the basis of the Vader audio based on the article I linked above.

It was pure AI based off archived recordings, JEJ didn't even record anything new.

It's amazing, and slightly fucked up, that the takeaway people are getting from this is that Vader's voice in Obi-Wan was AI-generated, instead of the fact that the people at Respeecher working on the voice were literally doing so from makeshift bomb shelters in Ukraine while under heavy assault from the Russian military.
