93 years old is too short a time for a voice that will live forever.

aw, womp womp
I was reading through his imdb for memories, apparently he was initially uncredited in ANH for voice over! I'm sure it was added in eventually but crazy. Oversight or by request from the man himself perhaps?
I wonder if there's any sort of existing contract that permits them to continue using his voice over? I had pretty much assumed they stopped using him at some point but it looks like everything up until Obi Wan series was him voicing.
Put a sock in it Jaffe! RIP.
EDIT- Just read on Forbes, he signed over rights for AI to recreate Vaders voice with all his recorded material.

For ANH, he said he didn't deserve to be credited for playing Darth Vader because the voice was too small a part of the character
