I figure you can tell by my name, I rather enjoy Star Wars. So it seems fitting that my first thought should derive from this great piece of fiction. It occurred to me while removing trash from my place of employment, what a drastic change the entire feel of Star Wars would take if Darth Vader had been voiced by Sean Connery instead of James Earl Jones. I can feel that right now you are running through the script in your head and attempting to place the dialogue properly.
To help in your experimenting with this great idea, here's some lines and a picture to get the voice right!
Princess Leia Organa: [smirking] Darth Vader. Only you could be so bold. The Imperial Senate will not sit still for this. When they hear you've attacked a diplomatic—
Darth Vader: Don't act so surprised, Your Highness. You weren't on any mercy mission this time. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship by Rebel spies. I want to know what happened to the plans they sent you.
Leia: I don't know what you're talking about. I am a member of the Imperial Senate on a diplomatic mission to Alderaan--
Darth Vader: You are a part of the Rebel Alliance and a traitor! [to the Stormtroopers] Take her away! [Leia is taken away]
Imperial Officer: [to Vader] Holding her is dangerous. If word of this gets out, it could generate sympathy for the rebellion in the Senate.
Darth Vader: I have traced the Rebel spies to her. Now she is my only link to finding their secret base.
Imperial Officer: She'll die before she'll tell you anything.
Darth Vader: Leave that to me."
Can't you just feel the dramatic change of air!
Amazing really.
On a rather unimportant side note: Currently and for the past week or so, I have had Take Away by Social Distortion stuck in my head and shall I say that this song is utterly merciless on brain cells.
