Awesome James Earl Jones

In this appearance from a 1969 episode of Sesame Street, the voice of Darth Vader and “This is CNN” clearly enunciates every letter of the alphabet, and simultaneously instills the fear of the Dark Side into all who watch it.

To atone for exposing you to Call of Duty‘s verbal atrocities, we present James Earl Jones – the voice of Darth Vader and Mufasa – reading Walt Whitman’s A Song of Myself. Read along here.  Recorded in 1973 at 92nd Street Y.

(Language NSFW) Darth Vader tells it like it is in this hysterical edit that mashes up Star Wars with various inappropriate voice work from James Earl Jones’ other movies. (Thanks, Nick!)

If you could never tell the difference between James Earl Jones’ Darth Vader and King Jaffe Joffer, ruler of Zamunda, we now fully understand. This is the definition of mashup perfection.
