As the galaxy far, far away continues to expand on both the big and small screens in live action and animation, the power of the voice becomes all the more important. Star Wars was blessed with one of the most iconic voices in move history when James Earl Jones gave sound to Darth Vader, and that power is awarded on 18th November at the 5th Annual Voice Arts Awards.
Of interest to Star Wars Rebels fans is the news that Hot Kallus himself David Oyelowo will be on hand to give out a very special award to Hollywood legend Sigourney Weaver
