He's an old dude tho...gave it up all at once....
That’s exactly what I was thinking
I'll take his place.
That's his father Robert Earl Jones (February 3, 1910 – September 7, 2006)....he was actor, also.
here they are together:
The odd part is that Carl Van Vechten took those photos of Robert Earl Jones
and below, this photo was taken by the same photographer, this time it's his son James Earl Jones:

What a legendary voice, I wonder if CNN is still using his voice as well?
True. I salute him for this decision.
Disney really should have filmed a Vader movie before it was too late.

The end of an era.
I understand and agree with his decision.
As already mentioned, I hope his family is well compensated in the future. (' Cuz Disney is notorious for their financial fuckery).
His presence will forever loom over the entire Star Wars universe and franchise as the voice of one of the most memorable villains of all time.

They really fucked up by not giving us a Darth Vader Solo movie. How he became who he was not just how he became Darth Vader because that episode 1 2 and 3 shit was garbage
Who are we kidding, they would have fucked that shit up the same way they fucked up Solo
Lazy writing man
Somebody needs to tell me how I can get into voice acting

More now than ever it would be great to see Star Wars move away from the same Skywalker-esqe corner of the universe and branch out into something new.
Let the man and the character have some rest. There are a million other characters in the universe to showcase.

David learned all of the Vader's lines, at first he actually thought they were going to use his voice

Hey, I never said he did it alone.
Sadly, the late, great Mr. Prowse will always be "under appreciated" for his performance(s) as The Dark Lord of The Sith.
RIP.
Nothing will ever come close to being better than that voice for Vader.
I just added a side note quip, I wasn't trying to counter what you said.Hey, I never said he did it alone.

Calm down, pal.
We've been getting "discount" Darth Vader(s) for years.
Mr. Jones did not voice every single iteration of Vader over the past few decades.
Nor has David Prowse physically done all of the live action performances as the iconic villain.
And I'm pretty sure Mr. Jones feels that as long as his family are living & eating WELL (after his death), based on his Vader performances, he can rest easy.
I concur.
