That's the whole potent cocktail of emotions bundled up in "I love you" "... I know"

Yeah, there's this big discussion about the race issues around that that I first found out about in like 98 when my parents bought me "The Big Book of Star Wars Trivia" which had an essay by a black fan talking about how all of the handling of that made Black fans feel screwed
-
Yeah like if people made the connection to James Earl Jones' other work they'd imagine Vader as Black and we can't have that

I guess out of principle or something Lucas didn't want the illusion ruined that Darth Vader's body and voice were different people Funny how despite David Prowse being the officially credited actor for Darth Vader no one remembers it that way
-
And yet he gets credited in all his cartoon appearances!

I've seen an interview with Jones where he says he went in knowing it would be that way because back then a voice actor was just "part of the special effects" basically.

Jones is historically not the best on sensitive race issues to be honest. He's very firmly in the camp of old school minority actors who defend theatre and film traditions that might otherwise raise eyebrows. (See the 2018 renaming of the Lillian Gish theatre controversy, et Al.)
