    Disney need to get him to record as many lines as possible for any future appearances of Darth Vader as no-one else on this planet could emulate that legendary voice.

      The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: REPENT YE, AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL.
      THE GOSPEL (which means the Good News) is the news that God Almighty, the Creator came in the flesh as Jesus Christ to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save ours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for our redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him.
      John 1:1,14 KJV
      In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and THE WORD WAS GOD. [14] And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us,
      Isaiah 9:6 KJV
      For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty GOD, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
      John 1:10 KJV
      He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and THE WORLD KNEW HIM NOT.
      John 20:28-29 KJV
      And Thomas answered and said unto him, MY LORD AND MY GOD. [29] Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
      Are you saved friend? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or hell?
      Acts 16:30-31 KJV
      ...what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
      Luke 24:47 KJV
      And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
      Acts 4:12 KJV
      Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

    It was great to hear him thank his father in his acceptance speech. For those who don’t know, Robert Earl Jones left the family before James Earl Jones was born. The two didn’t meet until the 1950s. While they were never able to have a complete father-son relationship, due to their estrangement, Robert Earl Jones never gave up in giving his son advice on how to break into the acting world and was nothing short of supportive of his son’s acting career. Great to see that, 11 years after his father’s death, James Earl Jones never forgot about him and took the time to thank him.

    In a perfect world, James Earl Jones would’ve been the Allstate guy from 2004 until 2009 and would’ve then said the lines, “Have an accident,” “There’s an accident in this country every five seconds. Allstate thinks that’s too often,” “That’s Allstate’s stand. Are you in good hands,” “Each year you drive safely,” “In the last year, we’ve learned a lot. We’ve learned that meatloaf and Jenga can be more fun than reservations and box seats,” “So you got a good deal on car insurance? Are you sure? If your friend borrows your car and something happens, are you covered,” “Even the best drivers could use accident forgiveness,” “1931 was not exactly a great year to start a business but that’s when Allstate opened its doors,” and, “Most of us look at the world like nothing bad will ever happen. An Allstate agent knows that all too often it does and they offer innovative ways to help protect your world like accident forgiveness, identity restoration coverage, and life insurance for the unthinkable. These days, you need more than just an insurance agent. You need an Allstate agent, someone who makes it their business to help protect you. That’s Allstate’s stand. Are you in good hands,” in these commercials.

    I can't help but notice he's slurring a little, on 'American' at 0:28 and 'ultimately' at 0:48? I'm not criticising, I'm just concerned because something's clearly different. Is he well or had false teeth put in (that might affect his speech)?

    • @JediPhoenix1976
      @JediPhoenix1976 3 года назад

      He stutters, as we all know by now; he's said that it's no problem if he's reading a prepared speech or his lines in a movie, but if he's casually talking, the stutter flares up every so often. Could be he was trying to speak carefully so that it didn't creep into this moment.
