The king is dead
The voice of many people's childhood's (mine included)
An accomplished actor, if ever there was one
May he rest in peace

This one's gonna hurt bad, I haven't been this grievous over a celebrity death since Robin Williams

He also made the villain in Conan the Barbarian larger than life.

From memory...

"I am the wellspring from which you flow. When I am gone, you will have never been."

He spoke at my college graduation in 2001 and after what was a very good speech finished it with, "May the force be with you".

Man, this one hurts, he was great at any role he played, even if it was just a voice role. I love the episode of Big Bang Theory when he played himself, that was hilarious.

May the Force be with him.

RIP James as Carrie Fisher called him in the BBT

 

[AutoMechanic]

I never got into Star Wars but I’ve heard the name before. RIP.

While sad, I don’t grieve over any celebrity or anyone else for that matter. They’ve got family of their own, and so do I.

RIP, James.
